add OpenID connect as an addon

Having OpenID Connect as an addon sounds great to me.

@scooke yeah, the upstream author has indicated that they won't accept changes not related to their SaaS. But maybe this has changed because they offer selfhosted plans. In any case, having OIDC in Cloudron won't hurt.

Also, I think I remember seeing the one line patch you mentioned...

[scooke]

@girish You've proba already seen it, but apparently Yunohost has this running. I'll check. Maybe their setup can help.

[girish]

@scooke We have it running on Cloudron as well. Just not sure if it's sustainable with the current authentication approach (dex -> cloudron ldap).

[matbrgz]

@girish is there something the community can help to accelerate the deployment of this?

[girish]

@matbrgz I think we are almost there. With 7.4, we introduce OIDC. In theory, outline supports OIDC but we have to check.

OIDC support in Outlook Outline itself - the situation is quite unclear to me, since it's not documented anywhere clearly. Do you know anything about this?

@girish OIDC in Outlook or Outline? I can help run down answers to MS related questions, but that might be a typo?

[girish]

@doodlemania2 w00t, sorry. I meant outline

[klawitterb]

@girish I’ve used their env sample as a reference for configuring it with Dex in my package: https://github.com/outline/outline/blob/main/.env.sample

hello! I stumbled upon this again and I wonder if any of you have any luck with a self-hosted install of Outline but using Cloudron's OIDC. Cloudron documentation of it it's not very complete for a newbie like me.

[girish]

@chetbaker now that we have OIDC, we will be looking into outline again. But this will take a bit. But feel free to experiment on your own, just wanted to put this note.

@girish This is an excellent app to have in Cloudron. With this addition, It will make Cloudron a complete solution for everything we need for self-hosting apps.

Did you ever get around to look at Outline again @girish - be great to have it on Cloudron!

[uwcrbc]

Is the OIDC integration (and the necessary time to integrate it) the only "blocking" factor here or is there any other element of the package/source preventing a release in Cloudron?
This app would be a great addition indeed.

I was able to get OIDC working without any problems with an instance outside of cloudron using their documentation in the env.example:

# To configure generic OIDC auth, you'll need some kind of identity provider.
# See documentation for whichever IdP you use to acquire the following info:
# Redirect URI is https://<URL>/auth/oidc.callback
OIDC_CLIENT_ID=
OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=
OIDC_AUTH_URI=
OIDC_TOKEN_URI=
OIDC_USERINFO_URI=

# Specify which claims to derive user information from
# Supports any valid JSON path with the JWT payload
OIDC_USERNAME_CLAIM=preferred_username

# Display name for OIDC authentication
OIDC_DISPLAY_NAME=OpenID Connect

# Space separated auth scopes.
OIDC_SCOPES=openid profile email

What's not working for you?

[girish]

@andreasdueren mmm, so you set this up against Cloudron's OIDC server? Last we checked, leantime needed a key mode authentication to OIDC which we haven't implemented yet. But maybe this has since been fixed?

edit: whoops, sorry, completely different apps

Last we checked, leantime

This is about Outline, not Leantime

+1 for Outline. It's very nicely designed and modern.
