TinyAuth

TinyAuth is a lightweight authentication middleware designed to protect your self-hosted web services without forcing you to build a full login system from scratch. It integrates easily with reverse proxies and container orchestrators (like Traefik, Caddy, or Nginx) to gate access behind simple policies and supports multiple auth backends, giving you flexible control over who can reach your apps. TinyAuth operates by forwarding authentication requests to configured identity providers, helping you enforce consistent access control across services in modern Docker or Kubernetes environments. It’s especially popular in home labs and small clusters where developers want robust protection without extensive setup or bloat, and a community of users actively discusses usage patterns and integrations on its GitHub Discussions board.
