Tom Casavant<p>I think what I want is to strap an ActivityPub server to freshrss, have it make a bunch of private accounts for each of my RSS subscriptions (and maybe groups for each category? Or just automatically make lists in my mastodon account for each cat?) And then auto follow all those accounts, so I can read all my rss feeds from any of my clients</p>
Štěpán Škorpil<p>On weekend I managed to connect all my selfhosted services that support it to the <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/Keycloak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Keycloak</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/SSO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SSO</span></a> (single sign on).<br>Namely <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/Peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Peertube</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/NextCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NextCloud</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/FreshRSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreshRSS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/Matomo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Matomo</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/grafana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>grafana</span></a> </p><p>Why to bother with such complication for apps serving only a couple of users?<br>First it's quite easy nowadays.<br>And second, because I want to get rid of passwords and just use <a href="https://mastodon.skorpil.cz/tags/passkeys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>passkeys</span></a> .</p><p>This is one of many examples showing that good apps should just focus on one task and just use standards to cooperate with other apps focusing on other tasks.</p><p>Peertube for example focuses on videos, not user management. I am very OK that they don't support passkeys, because they implemented OpenId Connect standard to allow me use Keycloak for better login options.</p><p>On the other hand, I am quite sad that SSO is often the one feature, that is proprietary and reserved only for paying customers. SSO is not for huge corporations anymore. It's also usefull for us, selfhosters with couple of users.</p><p>❤️ :opensource: :keycloak:</p>

It's duct taped together for now as I first wanted to try it out, but I'm liking it so far. I had seen those RSS buttons on websites for a while and I never had a way to use them. I guess that's the fun of self-hosting: you notice a problem, and you can always find a solution.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SelfHost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHost</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a></p>
