This is a hugely requested feature for many years and a huge hole in my entire self hosted ecosystem. Every self-hosted app I have connects to my Authentik system for user management… Except home assistant. Arguably one of the apps I need it for the most for the whole family to use with their accounts.
Devs have been resistant for some reason.
There is now a community integratation that allows user management for HA to be via any openID backend (authentik, keycloak etc).
I’ve been running it for a few days and it works perfectly. Very easy to setup if you already have a working authentik setup and know how to use it with other apps like immich.
With keycloak you can have a single local password to all your selfhosted apps: you sign in to keycloak, then you sso into everything else from there. I’m building that out on my homelab right now, and it’s working fine.
