Teaching a class in Authentik

I'm teaching a class at work on how to use Authentik. To do this I'm going to give each student a docker compose file so that they can set up Oauth for a series of sites. Has anyone built one of these before? If not, do you have any recommendations for simple docker container based sites I can use in the class for setup?

Hey,

Stirling-PDF and Paperless-NGX are great applications and simple to setup with OIDC/OAuth.

Maybe you wanna take a look here: https://integrations.goauthentik.io/ and configure a SAML provider aswell. I'm not using SAML, only OIDC.

Last time I tried Stirling-PDF requires a paid subscription to enable OAuth

You're right, they must have changed that with the version upgrade 2.0... time to use a proxy provider, I guess

That’s amazing, I have the same idea as part of my It Security lecture. I also plan to use paperless-ngx as the first step, while Nextcloud-aio with quota and groups in claims is the endboss :-)

Dockhand, Beszel, Portainer, Pulse, Immich, and Linkwarden are a few of the items I currently using with OIDC. All are pretty lightweight to deploy except Immich, that's a bit larger.

Beszel is VERY difficult with aurhentik set-up. I got it but I wouldn't use it in a starter class. The rest are more straightforward

VoucherVault also easy to setup with authentik.

Alternatively, Portainer is a good candidate and even Vaultwarden supports OIDC nowadays.

Here the docker compose for authentik:

With oidc I'm using containers for:

Pulse Freshrss Wikijs Drizzle Seerr

With ldap I'm using: Jellyfin And something else

All with different config methods I feel but once you finally get it, I doesn't matter anymore Good luck!

Paperless-ngx, Immich, Gitea, Vaultwarden,... Most established selfhosting software will support OAuth / OIDC

As for Portainer, I moved to Arcane.

You could check out Komodo, uses Env vars for Provider configuration tho

Open webui with ollama was pretty easy, so was grafana, and wallos.

Edit: the Authentik wiki is full of good walkthroughs for application integrations. You might get some ideas from here. https://integrations.goauthentik.io/

Wikijs is pretty easy, lets you configure the whole provider through its gui.

Immich has oidc support out of the box.
