> Authelia provides authentication and authorization for services in a couple of ways. For services that support OpenID Connect it provides a very simple single sign on experience. If not, Authelia can integrate with my reverse proxy (nginx) and require the user login before the reverse proxy allows access to a service.

Recently I found out Gitea or Forgejo can act as an Oauth provider. And since these support ldap you can for example deploy a Samba AD and set it up as an authentication source for Gitea/Forgejo. If you enable the OAuth feature you can connect stuff like grafana and log in with your Samba AD credentials.

To me this is more convenient than running a dedicated auth service considering Forgejo can also provide git, wiki, docker registry (also authenticated) and other function. It's such an underrated piece of software and uses so few resources.
