🛡️ uSentry - Identity & Access Management (github.com)

uSentry is a lightweight, self-hosted Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Single Sign-On (SSO) solution designed for homelab and small-scale environments.

⚡ A single PHP file. < 400 lines of code. No database. No background processes. No cloud. Just works. ⚡

Most IAM and SSO solutions require databases, certificates and background services baked into a dozen containers. This is all fine but also also overkill for homelabs and impossible for low-power ARM devices. uSentry is different, it isn't pretty but it sucks less for a lot of use cases.

Enjoy!

I'm torn between this being fucking genius, and a terrible idea all at once.

EDIT: Requires ngx_http_auth_request_module. * Caddy4lyfe. *

Well, me too. But frankly OpenIAM (24GB of RAM as a requirement) Keycloak, Authelia do too much, require too much and aren't suitable at all for SBCs and small scale stuff.

Edit: This is targeted at people that run nginx as a standalone server or proxy.

I respect it.

I didn't test, but should be possible with forward_auth (https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/forward_auth)

Nice! I'll give it a try.

If you manage to make it worth with Caddy can you share your config? I can add it to the readme or something. Thanks.

For sure. I'm likely gonna take a look at it this weekend.
