Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If Pocket ID and Passkeys are like most modern "solutions", they ignore everything that isn't web, or human. Have you hooked any services together using it? Like having Home Assistant authenticate against mpd?
I have several services. Home Assistant is not one as it's still a WIP for the person who's developing a solution. It works, but I'm sort of holding off until I can test it more with the mobile app.

But, to answer your question: I log into Tailscale with it. I also have it connected to Proxmox and Portainer Additionally, I have it connected to Pomerium so I can log into my FreshTomato Router with a fingerprint :) I also have a self hosted PasteBin connected to it.
So... you have applications that aren't web apps, authenticating themselves with other applications that aren't web applications? Not proxying for you, but literally connecting to do something, like perform a backup.
Passkeys work on whatever platforms your passkey is compatible with. I store mine in my BitWarden vault which works on web/PC/mobile just fine.
Pocket ID is an OpenID Connect provider (basically OAuth), so it depends on whichever apps you're using having support for that.
Home Assistant does not natively support OIDC, but there is a community project in active development which aims to add support.
This is where I get stuck. I've worked with OAuth before, and it is very web-centric. Maybe it's possible to work around http connections, but everything I've read makes it clear that it was designed with web applications - and browsers - as the foundational concept.
For example, I have a memory of trying to get two servers - neither of which had anything to do with the web - to authenticate, and to use OAuth I remember having to import an http library.
It's been an age, so I may not be remembering it correctly; but IIRC the OAuth flow is designed around web protocols.
