What I'd like this to have: (a) .sql files to setup the DB, (b) Dockerfile for easy deployment, (c) admin panel for stuff like tracking/revoking sessions, etc, (d) built on something battle-tested (e.g. devise).

#4Keycloak ( https://www.keycloak.org/ ) seems to be the most popular OS solution.
Re: Ask HN: Open-source auth0/octa alternative?
#5Keycloak is a pretty competent all-in-one solution, but has weak support for some standards that are critical for higher-Ed (who tend to drive most of the new work in IAM).
FreeIPA is also worth a look. If you add Shibboleth or SimpleSAMLphp and a web UI, you’d be close to Keycloak in terms of features (but maybe not maintenance).

#7Check the CNCF Landscape. DEX used to be there but doesn't seem to be lately. There ought to be something over there. I don't think you will find something as mature as you want in OSS. I have yet to find it, maybe someone else is aware...

Just thought I would mention that FusionAuth is powering a bunch of huge public internet applications with millions of MAU. Our largest customers have 10s of millions of total users as well.
We built it to scale to any size so don't worry about size.
Plus, it's free! :)
