Local/Standalone Auth

[ben-burwood]

Hi, great project!

Unless I've understood it wrong this can't be deployed without an external Auth Service (i.e. SMTP for Email, Goog,e OIDC etc).

Is there any plans for a fully contained deployment (for example Karakeep also uses Nextauth and achieves this)? This could be done by having the first user to register then be an Admin to add/remove additional users? Relying on an external service for this feels a bit overkill for some use cases.

There are no such plans. I do agree that it's a bit overkill, but this was project was launched originally as a cloud hosted service (not by me), so some design choices were oriented around that (which is also why there is support for S3 but not local storage). If you could provide some more details on how Karakeep achieves that, I might consider adding a credential provider like this to SP.

Karakeep has a Email/Password based Auth (pressumably https://next-auth.js.org/configuration/providers/credentials).
Not exactly sure how they implement it but on first spinning up the container you register a User with Email/Password, from there this user is the Admin and can create Users in the UI.

If I get some time I'll take a look into it but not overly familiar with Nextauth...

The problem with that is that there is no Users panel or even an admin account yet in Split Pro #273
Personally I never needed that feature, because I manage all of that within my OAuth provider, which I generally recommend for self hosting various services.
