What is Jauth?
This lightweight reverse proxy secures self-hosted apps with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt or self-signed certificates. Users log in through SSH keys or a Telegram widget, with optional single sign-on across multiple domains. Each domain can have its own access whitelist and target backend. The authenticated username is forwarded via the Remote-User header. It runs as a single dependency-free binary configured through a TOML file.
Should you self-host Jauth?
Jauth scores 44/100 on selfhost.directory (how scoring works) and ranks #20 of 24 in Reverse Proxy. It has 189 GitHub stars.
