A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hey everyone,

How do you do user management, I have a small handful of users that want one password for physical machines and for web apps. I was looking at KanIDM but I was wondering what other people use?

Edit: I would like to only use one piece of software if possible.

I don't have the exactly solution for you, but I went through this a while ago and came up with using openLDAP for this. It's not tidy at all, but it was a tremendous learning experience, and I documented it in 2 blog posts which may be interesting to you; I doubt you'll want to do what I did, but it was informative and has worked flawlessly since. I documented some of the flaws I found in options I considered at the time:
