​
Implementation

The main logic can be found in the service-go-user/domain/login/provider.go file.

The OAuth implementation does not depend on any external providers. It’s built using the golang.org/x/oauth2 library.

​
Configuration

The base application includes configurations for two providers: Google and GitHub, plus a Magic Link option.

  • To enable the Google provider, you need to set the GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables.
  • To enable the GitHub provider, you need to set the GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables.
services:
  server:
    environment:
      GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID: ${GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID}
      GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET: ${GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET}
      GITHUB_CLIENT_ID: ${GITHUB_CLIENT_ID}
      GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET: ${GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET}

The Magic Link option requires a working email provider. If the log option is chosen for email configuration, the magic link will appear in the application logs.
