I guess that means it’s dead, as there’s no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

Ooooor it will become a free vs corporate solution like RedHat and the likes do.
Portainer also does it for example. I think LDAP-Auth is paywalled but it makes sense that features like that are.
It does not.
Yes! As soon as your homelab grows above a couple of services and especially if it’s used by two or more people SSO becomes an absolute necessity! The tolerance of non-technical users for handling a bunch of passwords and having to enter them everywhere is understandably low.
The Home Assistant devs apparently also deal SSO as “a corporate feature that big-corp interests want to force onto us” whereas it’s the exact opposite in many cases: If we want self hosted services to be a realistic alternative to the “big corpo offerings” then we have to consider convenience and security an important feature and SSO is one of the few things that improves both at the same time.
Here’s to hoping that your users aren’t using Portainer to manage their Docker stacks haha
Idk why you’d need LDAP login as the admin for a homelab.
For other things like owncloud it makes sense but not there but eh…Personal preference I guess.
Once I’ve set up SSO I’d want to use it in as many places as possible. Not having to handle additional unnecessary passwords is a benefit.
It might be, but in the history of that corp, they never had a free/community/oss project. It looks like the typical Embrace Extend Extinguish strategy, where you acquire competitors just to get their customer base instead of the real product. OC 10 it’s already dead (no php 8 support) and ocis has almost no plugins.
Didn’t know about their history.
If that was the case: Fun while it lasted. Havent used it thus far but I wasn’t against the situation if it justified the use of it.
That’s what it already is.
