uSentry is a lightweight, self-hosted Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Single Sign-On (SSO) solution designed for homelab and small-scale environments.
⚡ A single PHP file. < 400 lines of code. No database. No background processes. No cloud. Just works. ⚡
Most IAM and SSO solutions require databases, certificates and background services baked into a dozen containers. This is all fine but also also overkill for homelabs and impossible for low-power ARM devices. uSentry is different, it isn’t pretty but it sucks less for a lot of use cases.
Enjoy!
Well, it isn’t pretty, but gets the job done.
The thing with PHP in this case is that I was already serving a ton of simple websites / small apps like freshrss that use PHP and by making this tool in PHP it means I don’t need yet another process running and wasting resources, can just re-use the existing php-fpm for this.
For what’s worth PHP is better than it looks, and my implementation is very crude, but also small and auditable and contained to a single file. :)
