Hey! I've finally started reaching my ultimate goal of SSO nirvana and have Authentik working well and more and more of my normal-use apps getting routed through it's authentication. However, I've been at this hobby for coming up on 10 years and I know without a doubt, that it's not if, but when my server will break down while I need it most. So I'd like to start moving my most important services to a VPS. I'm thinking SSO and Uptime Kuma. Free is not required and I think ~$100 CAD/yr is probably worthwhile. Any good ideas?

Second - I'm also realizing that while I love the awesomness of Authentik, what it has allowed me to really learn is how to do SSO, LDAP, OIDC, and SAML. I love it so much that I just don't want it to break, which means I should probably get my big boy pants on and learn Azure AD. Again, is there a way to get a relatively low cost option started?

Ultimate goal here is to create a nice hybrid environment.

  • Fun new services spun up and run locally
  • Tried and true (and light) mainstays move to a VPS that I don't tinker on
  • SSO migrated to an enterprise solution that won't (or shouldn't easily) break.

Is this a crazy plan? What should I think about?
