Keycloak or auth0. The app should support oauth2, if it does not it gets traefik-forward-auth (or whatever it’s called) to enforce mfa then you are in.

There are tons of open source projects to complete the self service experience, from sign up systems to self service password resets

Is Keycloak really appropriate for a side-project? Seems quite complex AFAICT.
you might be right. I also run freeipa on the backside to manage auth for all of my infra. Maybe I enjoy the flexibility.

For me the complexity only comes out when things malfunction. However, the MTBF outweighs the MTTR

Keycloak has too many new major releases. It is a real pain to keep up with.
Their version numbers are meaningless in that way. Most major up upgrades are non events
They can, and do, introduce breaking changes in major releases. That is the issue.
