Simple authentication for homelab? (eviltoast.org)

What's everyones recommendations for a self-hosted authentication system?

My requirements are basically something lightweight that can handle logins for both regular users and google. I only have 4-5 total users.

So far, I've looked at and tested:

Authentik - Seems okay, but also really slow for some reason. I'm also not a fan of the username on one page, password on the next screen flow
Keycloak - Looks like it might be lighter in resources these days, but definitely complicated to use
LLDAP - I'd be happy to use it for the ldap backend, but it doesn't solve the whole problem
Authelia - No web ui, which is fine, but also doesn't support social logins as far as I can tell. I think it would be my choice if it did support oidc
Zitadel - Sounds promising, but I spent a couple hours troubleshooting it just to get it working. I might go back to it, but I've had the most trouble with it so far and can't even compare the actual config yet

I've been using Authelia with several OIDC integrations for a while now. Works great. They've released a huge update like a day ago too. Out of the ones you listed, it's very lightweight too. The docs are a bit all over the place but it is quite comprehensive.

I did look at Zitadel and tried setting it up myself but I just couldn't get it to work. The docs are a bit vague.
