Overview

The Ory stack project aims to simplify self-hosting for users looking to implement authentication solutions with ease. Though it’s currently unmaintained, the initiative offers a solid foundation for developers interested in working with Ory Kratos for user identity management and Ory Hydra for OAuth2 handling. With a focus on customization and ease of use, this project is geared towards those who want a tailor-made authentication UI and an admin dashboard interface.

Designed using NextJS and Typescript, the UI components are built with modern styling technologies like shadcn/ui and TailwindCSS. This allows developers to create a visually appealing and functional environment for user authentication and administration while ensuring they have complete control over their deployment.

Features

• Authentication UI: Fully functional and supports all self-service flows for both Ory Kratos and Ory Hydra, allowing users to manage their accounts seamlessly.

• Customizable Interface: The UI is designed for easy styling and layout adjustments, making it simple for developers to tailor the appearance to match their branding needs.

• Admin Dashboard: Currently in progress, this feature will help users manage their applications by providing an overview of their instances, user management, and more.

• Docker Integration: Easy deployment via Docker Compose streamlines the setup process, letting you get started quickly without complex configurations.

• Dark and Light Mode: The authentication UI supports both dark and light themes, improving user experience based on individual preferences.

• Role-Based Access: The admin functions require appropriate permissions, ensuring security and control over who can manage user data and application settings.

• SMTP Dashboard Integration: Verification codes for account creation can be easily accessed, enabling a smooth user onboarding process.

• Community Forking: Since the project is unmaintained, developers are encouraged to fork and continue development, promoting collaboration and evolution of the tool within the community.
