Just moved al my #git repos from #GitHub to my own #Forgejo instance.
I did complete setup with #sso (single sign on) using #KeyCloak and with in-docker runner.

Up until today's morning I was going to install gitlab, but I was persuaded by being presented as lightweight, fully selfhostable, 100% open and with federating features on the way.

Looking forward to try some federation stuff.

On weekend I managed to connect all my selfhosted services that support it to the #Keycloak #SSO (single sign on).
Namely #Mastodon #Peertube #NextCloud #FreshRSS #Matomo and #grafana

Why to bother with such complication for apps serving only a couple of users?
First it's quite easy nowadays.
And second, because I want to get rid of passwords and just use #passkeys .

This is one of many examples showing that good apps should just focus on one task and just use standards to cooperate with other apps focusing on other tasks.

Peertube for example focuses on videos, not user management. I am very OK that they don't support passkeys, because they implemented OpenId Connect standard to allow me use Keycloak for better login options.

On the other hand, I am quite sad that SSO is often the one feature, that is proprietary and reserved only for paying customers. SSO is not for huge corporations anymore. It's also usefull for us, selfhosters with couple of users.
