Pocket ID
Self-hosted OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 provider that lets users sign in to their apps with passkeys.
Pocket ID is an OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 provider that lets users sign in to the applications they run with passkeys. It runs as a single program with a built-in SQLite database and can use PostgreSQL instead. The installation guide covers Docker Compose and a single binary, and the binary is meant to run under systemd or the platform’s equivalent. An admin UI handles user management, and an admin can issue a login code so a user can add a first passkey or recover access. Users and groups can be imported from LDAP.
The README names Keycloak and ORY Hydra as other self-hosted OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 providers, and the documentation names Keycloak and Authentik. It says the project supports only passkey authentication.
Worth knowing
Browsers allow passkeys only on HTTPS pages, or on localhost, so the instance needs a domain served over HTTPS. Pocket ID keeps its database and uploads in a data directory next to the program.
