Pocket ID

Pocket ID is a simple OIDC provider that allows users to authenticate with their passkeys to your services.

The goal of Pocket ID is to be a simple and easy-to-use. There are other self-hosted OIDC providers like [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/) or [ORY Hydra](https://www.ory.sh/hydra/) but they are often too complex for simple use cases.

Additionally, what makes Pocket ID special is that it only supports [passkey](https://www.passkeys.io/) authentication, which means you don’t need a password. Some people might not like this idea at first, but I believe passkeys are the future, and once you try them, you’ll love them. For example, you can now use a physical Yubikey to sign in to all your self-hosted services easily and securely.

## Setup

> [!WARNING]
> Pocket ID is in its early stages and may contain bugs.

### Before you start

Pocket ID requires a [secure context](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure_Contexts), meaning it must be served over HTTPS. This is necessary because Pocket ID uses the [WebAuthn API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Authentication_API) which requires a secure context.

### Installation with Docker (recommended)

1. Download the `docker-compose.yml` and `.env` file:

```bash
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stonith404/pocket-id/main/docker-compose.yml

curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stonith404/pocket-id/main/.env.example
```

2. Edit the `.env` file so that it fits your needs. See the [environment variables](#environment-variables) section for more information.
3. Run `docker compose up -d`

You can now sign in with the admin account on `http://localhost/login/setup`.

### Unraid

Pocket ID is available as a template on the Community Apps store.

### Stand-alone Installation

Required tools:

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) >= 20
- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) >= 1.23
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- [PM2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/)
- [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/install) (optional)

1. Copy the `.env.example` file in the `frontend` and `backend` folder to `.env` and change it so that it fits your needs.

```bash
cp frontend/.env.example frontend/.env
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env
```

2. Run the following commands:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/stonith404/pocket-id
cd pocket-id

# Checkout the latest version
git fetch --tags && git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)

# Start the backend
cd backend/cmd
go build -o ../pocket-id-backend
cd ..
pm2 start pocket-id-backend --name pocket-id-backend

# Optional: Download the GeoLite2 city database.
# If not downloaded the ip location in the audit log will be empty.
MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY= sh scripts/download-ip-database.sh

# Start the frontend
cd ../frontend
npm install
npm run build
pm2 start --name pocket-id-frontend --node-args="--env-file .env" build/index.js

# Optional: Start Caddy (You can use any other reverse proxy)
cd ..
pm2 start --name pocket-id-caddy caddy -- run --config Caddyfile
```

You can now sign in with the admin account on `http://localhost/login/setup`.

### Nginx Reverse Proxy

To use Nginx in front of Pocket ID, add the following configuration to increase the header buffer size because, as SvelteKit generates larger headers.

```nginx
proxy_busy_buffers_size 512k;
proxy_buffers 4 512k;
proxy_buffer_size 256k;
```

## Proxy Services with Pocket ID

As the goal of Pocket ID is to stay simple, we don't have a built-in proxy provider. However, you can use [OAuth2 Proxy](https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/) to add authentication to your services that don't support OIDC.

See the [guide](docs/proxy-services.md) for more information.

## Update

#### Docker

```bash
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
```

#### Stand-alone

1. Stop the running services:
```bash
pm2 delete pocket-id-backend pocket-id-frontend pocket-id-caddy
```
2. Run the following commands:

```bash
cd pocket-id

# Checkout the latest version
git fetch --tags && git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)

# Start the backend
cd backend/cmd
go build -o ../pocket-id-backend
cd ..
pm2 start pocket-id-backend --name pocket-id-backend

# Optional: Update the GeoLite2 city database
MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY= sh scripts/download-ip-database.sh

# Start the frontend
cd ../frontend
npm install
npm run build
pm2 start build/index.js --name pocket-id-frontend

# Optional: Start Caddy (You can use any other reverse proxy)
cd ..
pm2 start caddy --name pocket-id-caddy -- run --config Caddyfile
```
