Indieauth is a tool that allows you to use your own domain as an authentication mechanism for services that support it. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Indieauth on Kali Linux latest.
The first step is to install git. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
Next, we need to clone the Indieauth git repository. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth.git
This will clone the Indieauth repo to your system.
Indieauth requires a few dependencies to run properly. We need to install them before we can use Indieauth. Run the following command:
cd IndieAuth
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel python3-dev nginx
Now that we have installed all dependencies, we can install Indieauth. Run the following command:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
We are now ready to run Indieauth. Run the following command:
uwsgi --http :8080 --wsgi-file indieauth/server.py
This will start Indieauth on port 8080. You can access Indieauth by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080/.
Indieauth runs on port 8080 by default. We can configure Nginx as a reverse proxy to allow us to access Indieauth through a domain name.
Create a new Nginx configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/indieauth
Add the following content to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your-domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
Replace your-domain.com with your actual domain name. Save the file and exit.
Create a symbolic link between the sites-available and sites-enabled directories with the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/indieauth /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Test the Nginx configuration with the following command:
sudo nginx -t
And then, reload Nginx with the following command:
sudo systemctl reload nginx
You can now access Indieauth through your domain name.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Indieauth on Kali Linux latest. With Indieauth, you can use your own domain name as an authentication mechanism for various services.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
