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.
In which ways? Not disagreeing just a huge fan of the ability to handle Linux users, groups and policy like hbac, ssh keys, and sudoer rules.
Honestly if I could get ansible to dynamically create inventories from host groups I’d be set.
