I am in self hosting for a bit now, have an unraid server and a bunch of services running. Now I want to expose some services through a reverse proxy, but with authentication, preferably google oauth2. I’ve tried a lot of things, Authentik, Authelia, NPM, and so on. I found everything way to complicated. What I liked the most until now is Caddy with the greenpau/caddy-security module. Very easy config through the caddyfile… Though the module has to be manually installed after every update of the caddy docker container, thats kind of a turn of for me, since everything else on my server is almost maintainance-free.
You have any suggestions?
… also this is my first post on lemmy, since I migrated from reddit. ;)
I’ve always used Nginx for my reverse proxy and their
basic_authdirective for password protection. For a homelab setup, I’m not sure why you’d need anything heavier.Well yeah, basic auth is surely the easiest method … though I rather like to go the oauth2/OIDC route.
Just wondering why, because you need some justification to take the harder route. Oath2 is enterprise level, developed by Meta, Google, and others to be top-notch.
basic_authworks to dissuade intruders.Unless you have a stalker trying to infiltrate your network, I can only imagine this will cause more headaches than it’s worth.
