The Oregon State University's Open Source Lab needs your help 🤝 !

We at #Inkscape rely on them for hosting our website 🌐 , mailing lists 📨 , mail servers 📮 and DNS ℹ️ .

They are also a host for many other open source projects - e.g. #Drupal, #Gentoo Linux, #Debian, #Fedora, #phpBB, #OpenID, #Buildroot/#Busybox, #Cinc, …

Please consider donating 💌 to them so they can keep their services running for all of us!

### #Cloudflare open sources #OPKSSH to bring Single Sign-On #SSO to #SSH

This week, it was officially open-sourced under the umbrella of the #OpenPubkey project, itself became a #Linux Foundation open-source initiative in 2023, OPKSSH remained closed-source until now. Making it easy to #authenticate to #servers over SSH using #OpenID Connect (#OIDC), allowing developers to ditch manually configured SSH keys in favor of identity provider-based access.

Help Net Security · Cloudflare open sources OPKSSH to bring Single Sign-On to SSH - Help Net SecurityOPKSSH (OpenPubkey SSH) makes it easy to authenticate to servers over SSH using OIDC, allowing devs to ditch manually configured SSH keys.

Ich... wollte mal Outline in der Selfhosted-Variante installieren, dafür brauche ich aber einen OpenID-Provider.

Also probierte ich verschiedene aus und es ist alles ein riesiger Enterprise-Mist. Authentik hat zwar ein relativ simples Docker-Setup, braucht aber 3 Stunden zum Hochfahren und hat dabei meinen Docker-Host fast gekillt? Hä.

Werde jetzt noch... Keycloak ausprobieren.

Here's an important and informative thread on the current direction of #Fediverse development. I encourage everyone to give it a good read, and buried within is a worthwhile discussion of the Rauthy self-hosted #OIDC provider service (written in Rust); typical deployments can run on less than 75 MBytes RAM on an #rPi in your own home.

Although #Mitra doesn't currently employ this type of #SSO capability, it's certainly preferable, IMO, to using other commercial providers outside the scope of your own control for other services you might want to use #OpenID for.

Stay #FOSS Kiddies! I hope that helps and lemme know your thoughts, k?

Writing ExchangeErlend Sogge Heggen (@erlend@writing.exchange)The instance type we’d like to host is most likely gonna be @mitra@mitra.social #mitra ..specifically because it supports nomadic identity, so neither our instance nor our users are locked in stasis; Weird net can migrate to a different AP instance in the future if necessary, and instance tenants can migrate to any other instance that supports Nomadic Identity (FEP-ae97), e.g. with: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/fep-ae97-client It’s pretty easy to self-host; the real challenge is instance governance and moderation.
