About Tinyauth
Tinyauth is a small self-hosted authentication and authorization server, and it is OpenID Certified. It is usually placed in front of reverse proxies so that web apps without their own login, or with weak login, sit behind a single sign-in page.
It ships as a Docker image, including a distroless variant, and has a web frontend for the login screen. It suits homelab users and small teams who want a simpler option than larger identity providers such as Authelia or Authentik.
