# OIDC Service Analysis & Setup Requirements This document analyzes the services defined in this repository (specifically within `platforms/nixos/modules/nmasur/presets/services/` and related server profiles like `flame` and `swan`), evaluates their OpenID Connect (OIDC) compatibility, and details the requirements for configuring OIDC logins. --- ## Identity Provider Context: Pocket ID The configuration already includes a central self-hosted identity provider: **Pocket ID** (`platforms/nixos/modules/nmasur/presets/services/pocket-id/pocket-id.nix`), hosted on the communications server (`flame`) behind Caddy at **`https://auth.masu.rs`**. Pocket ID is an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider with WebAuthn/Passkey support. It exposes the following standard OIDC endpoints: - **Issuer URL:** `https://auth.masu.rs` - **Discovery Endpoint:** `https://auth.masu.rs/.well-known/openid-configuration` - **Authorization Endpoint:** `https://auth.masu.rs/authorize` - **Token Endpoint:** `https://auth.masu.rs/api/oidc/token` - **Userinfo Endpoint:** `https://auth.masu.rs/api/oidc/userinfo` - **JWKS Endpoint:** `https://auth.masu.rs/.well-known/jwks.json` --- ## 1. Service Compatibility Breakdown ### Tier 1: First-Class / Native OIDC Support These services support OpenID Connect natively without requiring external authentication proxies or custom code: | Service | Hostname | OIDC Support Level | Configuration Method | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Immich** | `photos.masu.rs` | Native core feature | NixOS config (`services.immich.settings.oauth`) | | **Gitea** | `git.masu.rs` | Native core feature | NixOS config / CLI or Web UI | | **Nextcloud** | `cloud.masu.rs` | Native (official `user_oidc` app) | Nextcloud app + `nextcloud-occ user_oidc:provider` | | **Grafana** | `metrics.masu.rs` | Native (Generic OAuth) | NixOS config (`services.grafana.settings."auth.generic_oauth"`) | | **Paperless-ngx** | `paper.masu.rs` | Native (`django-allauth`) | NixOS env vars (`PAPERLESS_SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS`) | | **Mealie** | `cooking.masu.rs` | Native core feature | NixOS config (`services.mealie.settings` + `credentialsFile`) | | **Karakeep / Hoarder** | `keep.masu.rs` | Native (NextAuth OIDC) | NixOS env vars (`OAUTH_WELLKNOWN_URL`, etc.) | | **Audiobookshelf** | `read.masu.rs` | Native core feature (v2.3+) | Web UI (Settings → Authentication) | | **Actual Budget** | `money.masu.rs` | Native core feature (v24.3+) | NixOS config (`services.actual.settings.openId`) | --- ### Tier 2: OIDC via Plugins or Reverse Proxy Header Auth These services do not have generic OIDC in their core web UI, but can support single sign-on through plugins or reverse proxy headers (`Remote-User` / `X-Forwarded-User`): | Service | Hostname | Strategy | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Jellyfin** | `stream.masu.rs` | `jellyfin-plugin-sso` | Web clients work well; TV and native apps typically rely on Quick Connect. | | **Calibre-Web** | `books.masu.rs` | Reverse proxy header auth | Set `services.calibre-web.options.reverseProxyAuth.enable = true` behind an authenticating reverse proxy. | | **File Browser** | `files.masu.rs` | Reverse proxy header auth | Set `auth.method = "proxy"` and `auth.header = "X-Forwarded-User"` behind an authenticating reverse proxy. | | **Navidrome** | `music.masu.rs` | Reverse proxy header auth | Supports `ReverseProxyUserHeader` for web UI; Subsonic API clients (Feishin, etc.) still require native user passwords. | | **Stalwart** | `contacts.masu.rs` | OIDC Directory / SASL OAuth | Stalwart supports OIDC directories, but CardDAV/CalDAV clients usually require HTTP Basic Auth or application passwords. | --- ### Tier 3: Incompatible or No Native OIDC Support - **Vaultwarden (`vault.masu.rs`):** Incompatible for vault decryption. Vaultwarden uses client-side zero-knowledge encryption where vault keys are derived from the user's master password. Bitwarden Enterprise SSO relies on a proprietary Key Connector that Vaultwarden does not implement. - **n8n (`n8n.masu.rs`):** SAML/OIDC SSO is an **Enterprise / commercial-only feature**; it is disabled in the free self-hosted Community edition. - **The Arr Stack (`download.masu.rs`):** Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, and Sabnzbd only support API keys, Basic Auth, or Forms. - **Transmission (`transmission.masu.rs`):** BitTorrent daemon; supports only HTTP Basic Auth / RPC whitelist. - **Uptime Kuma (`status.masu.rs`), ntfy (`ntfy.masu.rs`), The Lounge (`irc.masu.rs`), Pgweb (`pg.masu.rs`), Mathesar (`mathesar.masu.rs`), Hister (`hister.masu.rs`):** No native generic OIDC login mechanism. - **Infrastructure / Daemon Services:** PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, bind, avahi, cloudflared, wireguard, litestream (no user web UI). --- ## 2. General Setup Requirements Configuring OIDC requires setup across four layers: ### A. Pocket ID Setup For each service, an OIDC client application must be registered in the Pocket ID admin interface: 1. **Client ID:** A unique identifier slug (e.g. `gitea`, `immich`, `paperless`). 2. **Client Secret:** A cryptographically secure random token. 3. **Redirect URIs / Callback URLs:** The exact target URLs the service exposes for authorization code callbacks. 4. **Scopes:** Usually `openid`, `profile`, and `email`. ### B. Secrets Management (agenix) All client secrets should be encrypted with `agenix` under the respective service directory: - Example: `platforms/nixos/modules/nmasur/presets/services//-oidc.age` - Defined in NixOS under `config.secrets.-oidc` with appropriate owner/group permissions. ### C. Network & Reverse Proxy (Caddy) 1. **Back-Channel Connectivity:** When a user logs in, the service backend makes a server-to-server HTTPS call to `https://auth.masu.rs/api/oidc/token` to exchange the authorization code for tokens. Services hosted on `swan` (NAS) must be able to resolve and reach `auth.masu.rs` over HTTPS. 2. **Proxy Headers:** Caddy's `reverse_proxy` handles `X-Forwarded-Proto`, `X-Forwarded-Host`, and `X-Forwarded-For` by default. Services should have reverse proxy trust enabled (e.g., `trusted_proxies = ["127.0.0.1"]`) so generated redirect URIs preserve the `https://` scheme. --- ## 3.

Forward Auth Architecture for Remaining Services For services without native OIDC support (such as Calibre-Web, File Browser, Uptime Kuma, and the Arr stack), you can implement **Forward Auth via Caddy**: 1. Deploy an authenticating proxy (such as **OAuth2-Proxy** or **Authelia**) configured with Pocket ID as its OIDC provider. 2. Configure Caddy routes using the `forward_auth` directive to verify user sessions with the proxy before forwarding requests to the target service. 3. For services supporting reverse proxy authentication (Calibre-Web and File Browser), Caddy injects identity headers (e.g. `Remote-User: noah` or `X-Forwarded-User: noah`), enabling seamless single sign-on without requiring separate logins.
