Pocket ID
Backed by over 8,700 GitHub stars and OpenID Connect certification, Pocket ID delivers what enterprise identity platforms like Keycloak provide but without the configuration complexity — a passkey-only OIDC provider purpose-built for homelabs and small deployments. The core design decision is radical simplicity: no passwords exist in the system, only WebAuthn-based passkeys using hardware security keys, TouchID, FaceID, or device PINs, making phishing attacks structurally impossible rather than merely discouraged. The Go backend built on the Gin framework serves a compiled SvelteKit frontend as static assets, running as a single Docker container with SQLite as the default database and optional PostgreSQL for larger deployments. User management supports manual creation, signup links, and open registration, with group-based access control that restricts which OIDC clients each group can access and attaches custom claims for downstream role mapping. LDAP synchronization pulls users and groups from OpenLDAP or Active Directory, while SCIM support enables automated provisioning from compatible identity sources. Federated client credentials handle machine-to-machine authentication for service-to-service communication patterns. The audit system logs every authentication event with GeoIP enrichment, sends email notifications for sign-ins from unknown devices, and provides one-time login codes for accessing accounts from devices without passkey support. TLS with HTTP/2 is built in, PKCE adds code exchange protection, and OpenTelemetry provides tracing and metrics integration. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. BSD 2-Clause licensed.
Casdoor
With 13,800+ GitHub stars and active releases through 2026, Casdoor is the open-source identity platform that ships OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML 2.0, CAS, LDAP, SCIM 2.0, WebAuthn passkeys, TOTP multi-factor authentication, and Face ID biometric login in a single Go binary with a React web console — covering every authentication protocol your organization will ever need. Social login connects 50+ identity providers including Google, GitHub, Microsoft Azure AD, Facebook, WeChat, DingTalk, Apple, Twitter, and LinkedIn without custom code. The AI-first architecture includes a Model Context Protocol gateway for AI agent authentication and Agent-to-Agent protocol support for securing LLM-powered workflows. Built-in Casbin integration delivers authorization primitives beyond basic RBAC: attribute-based access control, relationship-based access control, and custom policy models through a unified engine. The organization-scoped multi-tenancy model isolates users, applications, and identity providers per tenant with customizable login pages, branding, and SMTP configuration. SCIM 2.0 endpoints automate user provisioning from HR systems and Active Directory. Official SDKs for Go, Java, Node.js, Python, and PHP accelerate application integration. The RESTful API exposes every resource for programmatic management. Comprehensive audit logs record authentication events and administrative actions. Deploy via Docker Compose with MySQL or PostgreSQL, the all-in-one SQLite Docker image for quick trials, or the official Kubernetes Helm chart for production clusters. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
Ory Hydra
Ory Hydra is an OpenID Certified OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect provider that plugs into any existing user database or authentication system through a headless consent and login bridge, letting you own your authorization infrastructure without rebuilding identity management from scratch. The Go binary ships at under 15MB with zero system dependencies and exposes two distinct API surfaces: a public endpoint on port 4444 handling authorization code flows, token exchanges, PKCE challenges, device authorization grants per RFC 8628, and OpenID Connect discovery, plus an admin endpoint on port 4445 managing client registration, token introspection, consent session lifecycle, and JWKS rotation. Access tokens can be issued as opaque reference tokens or signed JWTs for stateless validation at resource servers, while refresh token rotation, token revocation per RFC 7009, and pairwise subject identifiers provide granular security controls. Persistent storage spans PostgreSQL, MySQL, and CockroachDB with automatic schema migrations, and the architecture supports horizontal scaling behind load balancers with shared database state. Dynamic client registration per RFC 7591 enables automated provisioning, and the OAuth 2.0 Threat Model security considerations are implemented as default behaviors rather than optional add-ons. Trusted by OpenAI and other internet-scale platforms. Helm charts and Docker Compose quickstarts provide production-ready deployment paths alongside the broader Ory ecosystem including Kratos for identity management, Oathkeeper for zero-trust API proxying, and Keto for fine-grained permissions. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
