Its really stange seeing kanidm basically never mentioned in these types of threads dispite how perfect it is for selfhosting: great documentation, incredibly easy to get setup, easy to make a custom themed/setup auth page, lets users name themselves how they prefer instead of requiring “firstname lastname” (why does every service need a lastname when it never gets used?)

Authelia and authentik are cool but are way more complex then you need for authenticating a couple services and for me at least feel “bloated” for my usecase

Misskey/Sharkey are Mastodon but with added or tweaked functionality, Misskey is directly forked from Mastodon iirc

I viewed this more like Kinger used windows 98 at work, but Cain works like an embedded device running a linux kernal he can ssh into
