Identity: Self-Hosted or in the Cloud?

  Does anyone have any tips for a super simple self-hosted LDAP server for a homelab? Every time I look I only find options which seem way too complicated. What I really want is a simple binary that can read users and hashed passwords from, say, a SQLite table, and expose enough LDAP to integrate with other tools that speak it.

    Have you tried lldap? https://github.com/lldap/lldap https://github.com/lldap/lldap

      I haven't, but it looks perfect for my use case!

    Keycloak is definitely not small but you might find that you can ignore enough of the functionality to pretend that it is. https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak

      Less known and less complete, but simpler and lighter than keycloak there is zitadel https://zitadel.com/ https://zitadel.com/ You can of course self host it.

  Identity isn't mentioned so much as the relative practicalities and economics of "cloud" versus "self-hosted" (on prem, distributed?). Maybe "where to put identity" is too flat a question. Identity is one part of modern authentication, one part of a trust model that includes roles, history, capability, reputation, origin, routes, proofs and much more before authorisation. Does that go in a place?
