Datasette authentication using IndieAuth and RelMeAuth
Project description
datasette-indieauth
Alpha. Datasette authentication using IndieAuth and RelMeAuth.
This initial version depends on IndieAuth.com.
Installation
Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.
$ datasette install datasette-indieauth
Usage
Ensure you have a website with a domain that supports IndieAuth or RelMeAuth.
Visit /-/indieauth
to begin the sign-in progress.
When a user signs in using IndieAuth they will be recieve a signed ds_actor
cookie identifying them as an actor that looks like this:
{
"me": "https://simonwillison.net/",
"display": "simonwillison.net"
}
Restricting access with the restrict_access plugin configuration
You can use Datasette's permissions system to control permissions of authenticated users - by default, an authenticated user will be able to perform the same actions as an unauthenticated user.
As a shortcut if you want to lock down access to your instance entirely to just specific users, you can use the restrict_access
plugin configuration option like this:
{
"plugins": {
"datasette-indieauth": {
"restrict_access": "https://simonwillison.net/"
}
}
}
This can be a string or a list of user identifiers. It can also be a space separated list, which means you can use it with the datasette publish --plugin-secret
configuration option to set permissions as part of a deployment, like this:
datasette publish vercel mydb.db --project my-secret-db \
--install datasette-indieauth \
--plugin-secret datasette-indieauth restrict_access https://simonwillison.net/
