I am an embedded systems guy so this is new territory for me.
I want to be able to host my own userbase somewhere, mainly I just want to figure out how they work. But all i can find are closed solutions that have some amount of pricing or are obscured. I also feel like it’d be wrong to re-write something like this myself.
I’ve tried googling around a bit but keep getting similar results so I am assuming I am asking the wrong question. What I want:
Ideally some kind of dockerized setup where a user can navigate to a website to create an account, which I can then query through php or some other API. Stuff like password reset or stripe would be nice but is secondary as that can most likely be added another way.
I found stuff like usernbase which seems interesting and even includes something like subscriptions, but I’d like to self host it and not rely on something like the AWS.
Ideally I want to get OAUTH2.0 to work as well, to learn how exactly it works.
Authentik, Authelia, Keycloak, KaniDM come to mind.
That’d be identity providers / authentication servers or SSO solutions. But with most (/all?) of them, you’d have to program the payment logic yourself.
I think there are webshops, platforms to sell online courses and ERP or eCommerce software that can do both payment and authentication. I’m not a expert on that.
I think most solutions are either custom solutions that have been programmed by the people themselves (at least to some degree) or some of the big, commercial (and proprietary) platforms to sell online courses and memberships.
But don’t search for “userbase […]” that’s a term I’ve never heard of. Search for “membership”, “identity management”, “single sign-on”, “eCommerce” and “Stripe” (because it’s one of the largest payment providers. And I’d have a look at the eCommerce world. Usually it’s difficult to find something good. Most of them want a share of your revenue and aren’t entirely open source. Maybe something to sell online courses with, is more likely to have the things you need.
