Imagine that all you had to do was register once<\/strong>to get access to all your services - from the wiki to the cloud. And that completely self-hosted<\/strong>. Welcome to Authenticity<\/strong>the modern open source tool for Single Sign-On (SSO) and Identity Management!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For detailed instructions and explanations of all configuration options, I recommend watching the YouTube video linked below. This video goes into detail about each individual setting, providing you with comprehensive instructions on how to set everything up correctly. Any code from the video can be found in this article, so you can use it directly without having to type it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog post, including video, is part of a series in which we build and set up our own home server. We start with the basics, such as installing Ubuntu VM with Docker, and then move on to configuring our own domain, security measures, and, above all, lots of cool and useful self-hosted services. Whether it's media servers like Plex or Jellyfin or document management like Paperless-NGX, we'll work together to build the setup you want to see. We'll even tackle topics like single sign-on (SSO) together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
