Simple guide to self hosted authentication? (lemmy.world)

I'd like to set up my identity and authentication service for my self hosted applications but it is not a beginner friendly subject.

I'm aware of the various tools available; authentik, authelia, LLDAP, keycloak, etc and see lots of useful discussions on them which is great.

But I can't seem to find a beginner friendly introduction to setting up one or more of these tools that helps me understand the core concepts at the same time. Does such a thing exist?

I'd like to try out LLDAP and Authelia on my home lab and then possibly roll this out to my production services.

But every tutorial I've come across seems to assume a fair amount of knowledge that I don't think I have.

For instance if I deploy LLDAP what should I use as my base DN? And how can I seperate a homelab directory from a seperate production directory?

Any pointers gratefully received.

I know this isn’t what you’re asking for but I think this is still a good starting point. Like you correctly surmised, identity and authentication management is not an easy subject and does require extensive experience and theory.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

2 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 4 acronyms.
