## Notes

Vouch Proxy is an SSO solution for Nginx that uses the auth_request module to check each request against a login from an OAuth or OIDC provider. Nginx calls the proxy's /validate endpoint before it serves a protected site, and the proxy runs as a server beside Nginx. The project is written in Go and ships as a binary, a container image and a Helm chart, and its README also covers a build from source.
