What's Good
BSD-2-Clause. Self-host only — no paid Cloud trap. OIDC Certified. Passkeys only: no password store to mismanage. Homelab and MCP-scoped auth lane.
The Catch
Vs Hanko/Authelia/Keycloak/Ory: passkey-ONLY OIDC IdP (no passwords). Homelab/MCP-scoped, not enterprise IAM. Free path is self-host only.
Verdict
BSD-2-Clause passkey-only OIDC. Self-host; not enterprise IAM.
