Beacon is a standalone IndieAuth provider which closely follows the latest version of the IndieAuth specification.
With Beacon you can use your own domain name to sign into IndieAuth supported applications or websites such as Owncast. Beacon would be suitable for you if your domain or website does not have an IndieAuth provider built in.
Setting up your own Beacon instance is relatively easy. A typical setup process would involve:
- Building the binary or Docker image.
- Deploying the application behind a reverse proxy.
- Setting up your profile.
- Updating your domain’s HTTP server or website’s HTML page by adding a link to your instance’s authorization and token endpoints.
A detailed guide for the setup process can be found here.
