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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

VoidAuth is Single Sign-On for Your Self-Hosted Universe! πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ”’

This is a smaller release; new features include adding a prompt for passkey creation when a user logs in with a password on a new device, account management options on the Profile Settings page, and a Sent Mail admin page where you can see what notifications the VoidAuth server has sent. Here is the changelog:

Features πŸš€

  • Sent Mail admin page πŸ“€
  • User Passkey and Password Account Management πŸ§‘β€πŸ’Ό
  • User Account Management: Delete Account 😡
  • Passkey Prompt After First Login πŸ”‘β“

On a personal note, thank you to the Fediverse community for taking an interest in this project. It is encouraging when you comment on a post, star on GitHub, open an issue, or otherwise engage. I created VoidAuth for my own use, but I really hope to be able to give back and make it into something useful to others.

Also I am accepting the part of myself that enjoys emojis, I don't care that it makes me look like an AI. Look out if I start using em-dashes though...

Cool project! Does it support 2FA? I'd like to use a password and then either TOTP or FIDO, like Authelia does.

[–] notquitenothing@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

VoidAuth currently only supports 2FA through passkeys, and specifically requests 2FA passkeys from passkey providers. I may look into password + passkey but for now the only way to guarantee 2FA login is to make your account passkey-only. This is currently being tracked here: https://github.com/voidauth/voidauth/issues/106

I tried it out the other day and it seems way more user friendly and faster than Authentik but I was having a problem using it in conjunction with Smallstep SSH because the "principal" field of the certificates was blank.

I have never used Smallstep, but based on the documentation it looks like a native+id_token client. If you can get an error message or debug trace, you can sent it to me or open a GitHub issue and I will take a look at it πŸ™‚

Alright, well I was going to set it back up today and try to get some logs for you, but I pulled the new version and started up the container and now it all just seems to wok. So either something changed in the new version to address what I was seeing, or I was doing something wrong 🀷

In either case, thanks for putting this utility together and for being so responsive.

Well this looks fun to try out β€” I'll have to install it later and give it a go!

(Sorry couldn't resist with the em dash)

But I will give it a try later on, been playing around with auth options lately

😹 Let me know how it goes! If you have any trouble setting it up feel free to ping me, or open an issue on GitHub
