Self-Hosted Auth Microservice
A minimal, production-ready authentication service for multi-app integration.
System Overview
This auth service provides a centralized identity management system, allowing multiple applications to authenticate against a single source of truth using industry-standard protocols.
Technical Implementation
The service is built with Next.js and PostgreSQL. It uses JWT for session management and supports various auth methods. It includes an API for token generation and validation, and is designed to be easily deployable via Railway or Docker.
Key Considerations
Is it secure to self-host auth?
Yes, provided you use industry standards like JWT with robust secret management and enforce HTTPS. It gives you full control over your user data.
Can it integrate with third-party apps?
Absolutely. The service is designed to be a central auth provider that any application can query via its REST API or use for token validation.
