This PeerTube server plugin adds support to a PeerTube instance for external authentication via an OAuth 2.0 provider.
- NodeJS >= 10.x
- PeerTube >= 2.2.0
To properly use this plugin, the OAuth 2.0 provider must support confidential clients. See RFC6749: 2.1. Client Types.
Note: Nextcloud's OAuth2 implementation is not supported.
The redirection endpoint provided by this plugin is available at /plugins/auth-oauth2/router/callback. Use the following URI in your OAuth 2.0 provider's callback URL or redirection URI setting.
https://<your instance hostname>/plugins/auth-oauth2/router/callback
Note: Replace
<your instance hostname>with the hostname of your PeerTube instance.
