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.

Quick Start (Docker)

1. 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

2. 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
   

3. Install the Traefik GitHub OAuth plugin

   Add this snippet in the Traefik Static configuration

   experimental:
     plugins:
       github-oauth:
         moduleName: "github.com/MuXiu1997/traefik-github-oauth-plugin"
         version: <version>
   

4. Run your App

   docker run -d --whoami test \
     --network <traefik-proxy-network> \
     --label 'traefik.http.middlewares.whoami-github-oauth.plugin.github-oauth.apiBaseUrl=http://traefik-github-oauth-server' \
     --label 'traefik.http.middlewares.whoami-github-oauth.plugin.github-oauth.whitelist.logins[0]=MuXiu1997' \
     --label 'traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=Host(`whoami.example.com`)' \
     --label 'traefik.http.routers.whoami.middlewares=whoami-github-oauth' \
    traefik/whoami
