Traefik GitHub OAuth Plugin

This is a Traefik middleware plugin that allows users to authenticate using GitHub OAuth.

The plugin is intended to be used as a replacement for the BasicAuth middleware,

providing a more secure way for users to access protected routes.

process

Quick Start (Docker)

Create a GitHub OAuth App
- See: https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-oauth-apps/creating-an-oauth-app
- Set the Authorization callback URL to http://<traefik-github-oauth-server-host>/oauth/redirect

Run the Traefik GitHub OAuth server

docker run -d --name traefik-github-oauth-server \
  --network <traefik-proxy-network> \
  -e 'GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>' \
  -e 'GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>' \
  -e 'API_BASE_URL=http://<traefik-github-oauth-server-host>' \
  -l 'traefik.http.services.traefik-github-oauth-server.loadbalancer.server.port=80' \
  -l 'traefik.http.routers.traefik-github-oauth-server.rule=Host(`<traefik-github-oauth-server-host>`)' \
  muxiu1997/traefik-github-oauth-server
