Selfhosted
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.

the Postgres requirement is a dealbreaker for me. I don't get why all these "simple" self-hosted apps need a bloated database. how many users is a self-hoster going to have, maybe 1-10? SQLite can easily handle thousands. I'm currently using Authelia, and it even has a database-less YAML option for managing users
I do agree. I have been thinking about adding a SQLite option which should be somewhat easy since knex (the database package that VoidAuth uses) supports it. Before releasing that I would want to create some way to migrate your data from one database type to another. If you want to use VoidAuth feel free to make an issue for this!
Having run minor projects using PocketBase before and also seen what PocketBase itself can do and SQLite configured correctly in general, It's great. I've gotten to be a big fan of it by the years and gladly opt for it over the bigger ones.
If this project got SQLite support it would be a great replacement for my own setup which requires about 3 or 4 accounts. Currently using a proprietary solution and been looking into moving to Authentik but it's a bit too heavy resource wise for my current servers.
Yeah, I use Authentik currently and the main reason is simplicity of having it with LDAP. But I've considered running something else backed by FreeIPA to get more compatibility for LDAP. I feel like I have to fight to get something to work with it.
But it has some high overhead for sure.
