VoidAuth Release v1.6.0 - Optimization and 1k Stars Celebration 🎉

Submitted ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨notquitenothing@sh.itjust.works⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

https://github.com/voidauth/voidauth/releases/tag/v1.6.0

In honor of the great RAM ~~price gouging~~ shortage of 2025-2026, this release cuts the memory usage of VoidAuth in half! I noticed that my own instance was pretty thicc at nearly 300MB of memory usage after stabilizing and not doing anything, so decided to do some trimming and optimization.

(Un)Scientific Results:

RAM Usage: 280MB -> 150MB
Image Size: 660MB -> 360MB

This release also brings better support for public OIDC Clients, but more testing is likely needed to catch edge cases so if something isn’t working let me know. Thank you everyone for your engagement and support, I am feeling the love as this project crosses past 1000 stars 🥳. If you are interested, please try it out!

Here are the Release Notes:

I keep meaning to try this out.

I’ve always wanted a SSO, however, at this point with over 75 apps, I would have to integrate them somehow.

VoidAuth does NOT provide https termination itself, but it is absolutely required. This means you will need a reverse-proxy with https support in front of VoidAuth, as well as your other services.

How would that work in an evil Cloudflare Tunnel/Zero Trust setup?

  For your 75 apps, any that doesn’t support OIDC can be protected by VoidAuth’s ProxyAuth. Have your reverse proxy forward the request to the voidauth api and it will use the authenticated user’s group membership to allow or deny access. So in your case you could have a blanket rule covering your entire domain and gradually add more specific paths as needed.
  
  Can’t help with your question unfortunately. But I highly endorse VoidAuth!

    Got any documentation you could point me to to learn about that. As that sounds Interesting.

    Ok well that’s helpful. Thanks for the input. I have seen a lot of people recommend VoidAuth so there has to be something to it. LOL

  Caddy?

    Well, I’m not sure if the evil Cloudflare Tunnel/Zero Trust, Tailscale, would play nice with Caddy in the mix. I used to use Caddy a long time ago and it is a very capable piece of software. Cloudflare Tunnel/Zero Trust handles pretty much what Caddy does, so I’m unsure if it would create conflict.

  I think technically you might actually not need https termination anymore, it was required when the session cookies were set secure manually but now they should be set automatically if the request protocol was https. You can give it a try just using http or self-signed certs, if you do let me know if it works!
  
  You should be aware though that if you are not using https your password and other secrets will be transmitted unencrypted on that layer, so make sure that your setup is secured/encrypted in some other way like wireguard/Cloudflare tunneling.

    Most definitely using https. I’ll give it a go and see what shakes out. Thanks for the help. I’ll report back.
