Authentik is awesome -- I don't see it mentioned much in self-hosting communities but it absolutely should be because it's so powerful, pretty polished and just works really well for me.

Because the integration is more complicated compared to Authelia. Additionally, the docs were (I tried to setup 6-12 month ago) not easy to understand.

Fair enough. Discord is really helpful though the dev is really active in there.

Ps, I like authelia too, just really dig authentik

I'd be using this if it weren't so heavy (It needs 2 GB of RAM). Are there any lighter options?

Authelia, maybe, but although it has much of the same functionality it is not as rounded, polished or slick imho. I started with Authelia and moved to Authentik.

One of the major plus points for Authentik IMHO is that it has a built in dashboard that only shows what a user has access to. This removes the need to have a separate one and kind of makes it more than just an SSO. To me I view it almost as more of a portal.
