Authelia + lldap(lightweight ldap) has been a really nice and powerful setup that negates the need for authentik for me. Authelia and authentik have diffrent goals tho, authelia is by design less powerfull and has a much smaller code base so that independent teams can audit the code themselves and a “set and forget” type configuration. Authentik is targeted at being an enterprise solution with all the bells and whistles. If you need those bells and whistles and dont want to use authentik try looking at keycloak (which also needs an ldap backend)
