• Title: Supertokens on Cloudron - Open Source User Authentication

• Main Page: https://supertokens.com
• Git: https://github.com/supertokens/supertokens-core
• Licence: Apache 2.0, but excludes ee/ sub-directory (enterprise edition)
• Docker: Yes
• Demo:

---

• Summary: Supertokens provides a backend for user authentication, to permit your users to use any authentication mechanism for an account (passkeys, SSO, magic links, etc.).

---

• Notes: It seems like a very nice alternative to clerk, permitting freedom on the front-end by providing an API, but taking away the hassle of the different authentication methods for user management.

• Alternative to / Libhunt link: https://clerk.com

Great alternative to Clerk, Auth0 and like.
More features than Firebase too.

If we can get this on cloudron it would be great - we can use it as an authentication backend for all other apps.

There is a package at https://git.cloudron.io/playground/supertokens-app . @tronical is helping us test it . Let's see.

Hi @girish ,
I can see nothing has happened with the repo since it was initially created. Did you run into trouble testing it?
Or is it just a capacity / priority thing?
cheers
Mark

Has anyone gotten around to testing the existing package?

[markjames]

@Joseph , I do have a need for this. What do you need me to do to prove it out? Do you have any sort of formal testing requirements?
