With displays like these, it’s either parallel or SPI. Try to find a chip in the kapton circuit, that is the actual display driver.

Try to find out the FPC pinout, there should be two pins for backlight, find out of there’s any GND, etc… my gut says this is some kind of SPI based controller, 24 pins is too little for a parallel one.

There’s SwiftFin, but it’s been a while from the last update (iOS app was updated recently though) and there’s a number of issues. It’s usable though (I’m using it).

Maybe Scribus (FOSS) could scratch that itch?

There’s LaserWeb but apparently it doesn’t support closed source (Chinese) firmware so you’d need to change your laser’s controller…

The only alternative I know of that goes close to what FreeIPA does (minus the cert part) is kanidm. It does:

• oauth2
• ssh key distribution
• RADIUS
• PAM/SSSD
• LDAP

I just noticed they have a beta for multimaster replication, which is nice.

I use it at home. Note, though, that it does not do any hand-holding, and all configuration is done through CLI. Also note, there are docs for the stable or dev branch and there sometimes are big differences between the two.

I use kanidm with oauth2-proxy. No issues so far, it was pretty easy to set up.

Note that the connection to kanidm needs to be TLS even if you have a reverse proxy!

EDIT: currently using 80MB RAM for two users and three Service Providers.

Saving this for all my future pro-systemd flames, thank you!

Sure, but it’s a question of principle. I try to use and support FLOSS software if possible.

Aw man… and I was just thinking about deploying Nomad in my homelab…

I found the definition of Coordi-Nations interesting. It could also be applied to hackerspaces/hackbases. I need to look into that

I’m looking into kanidm, it’s a pretty new project and very lightweight (compared to Keycloak).

If that won’t pan out, I’ll probably fall back to lldap + Authelia.

If that fails I’ll set up Authentik.

Right now, I would suggest the ESP32 family… very well supported, lots of community, it’s quite a powerful MCU and you can find it for 3-5$ on Ali
