What Self-Hosted Single Sign-On (SSO) do you use? (jemmy.jeena.net)

I have a lot of different services which I self host for me and my family like:

PeerTube
Lemmy
Mastodon
Synology NAS
TTRSS
NextCloud
Matrix
HomeAssistant
etc.

Right now every family member needs to create a user on each of those services and have a different password on them, which is OK when you use a Password Manager, but most of my extended family members don't. And they often forget their password and stop using the service because they can't figure out how to reset the password with each and every service.

I would like to try to consolidate all of it with a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution but It's not obvious to me if there is one which is not overly over engineered for hundreds of thousands of users but small and lightweight, perhaps even easy to set up.

I tried OpenLDAP but Jesus that was very involved.

I use keycloak. Pretty steep learning curve, but once properly set up, it can do pretty much anything.

But if you're in a pinch, NextCloud can act as an OIDC auth provider out of the box.

Damn, what does Nextcloud NOT do ?
