Comment on ownCloud becomes part of Kiteworks

  Yes! As soon as your homelab grows above a couple of services and especially if it's used by two or more people SSO becomes an absolute necessity! The tolerance of non-technical users for handling a bunch of passwords and having to enter them everywhere is understandably low.

  The Home Assistant devs apparently also deal SSO as "a corporate feature that big-corp interests want to force onto us" whereas it's the exact opposite in many cases: If we want self hosted services to be a realistic alternative to the "big corpo offerings" then we have to consider convenience and security an important feature and SSO is one of the few things that improves both at the same time.

    Idk why you’d need LDAP login as the admin for a homelab.
    For other things like owncloud it makes sense but not there but eh…Personal preference I guess.

      Once I've set up SSO I'd want to use it in as many places as possible. Not having to handle additional unnecessary passwords is a benefit.

      I have something like 40-60 machines between hypervisors, VM, and physical. Central auth is an absolute must for that scale. Sure I could just re use the same password 60 times, but if that gets popped, I’d also have to change it 60 times (adding config management is a soon to be completed task)

        You can’t call that a home environment anymore.
        That is corporate scale and imo can be monetized

    Here’s to hoping that your users aren’t using Portainer to manage their Docker stacks haha
