Pocket ID and OIDC in GoBlog

Tim Hårek really sent me down a rabbit hole with all the self-hosted services he lists on his latest blog post. There are some interesting links I put on my reading list. The first one I actually looked into, though, was Pocket ID. It’s a nice little OpenID Connect provider. A great homelab alternative to Keycloak, which I have to deal with at work sometimes.

It supports login with passkeys and can be configured with many other self-hosted services like Paperless-ngx, Forgejo, Nextcloud, KitchenOwl, and, since today, also GoBlog. Basically one passkey to rule them all. And it enables passkey support for the apps that don’t support them yet.

But it was also interesting implementing OIDC client support in GoBlog. It gave me the chance to fix a few bugs and recover my knowledge about OIDC in general.
