Help us build the best open source identity platform

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/selfhosted

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • oidc

    Easy to use OpenID Connect client and server library written for Go and certified by the OpenID Foundation

    Whats great about this flow is that the user can a) reuse an existing session and b) use passwordless authentication to protect against phishing (fido). Btw. we have an example for CLI authentication against GitHubwhich would work in the same way with ZITADEL

  • zitadel

    ZITADEL - The best of Auth0 and Keycloak combined. Built for the serverless era.

    At ZITADEL we built an open source alternative to Auth0 which fully supports self hosting on Kubernetes as of today. We are now in the late stages of releasing our next major version (due this month) which should improve on areas where we saw some need for improvements in the current version.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • oauth2-proxy

    A reverse proxy that provides authentication with Google, Azure, OpenID Connect and many more identity providers.

    In combination with proxies like https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy you can also make sure that nobody can access your services without a prior login.

  • lldap

    Light LDAP implementation

    Although this doesn't seem to be the goal of Zitadel, I think there's a need/demand for a lightweight IdP oriented towards small-time selfhosters. LLDAP makes some progress towards this, but is LDAP only.
