Production Deployment - Ready to Deploy! 🚀

Your OIDC Identity Provider is now production-ready with minimal configuration needed.

What Was Created

1. Production Configuration Files

• .env.production - Production environment template with secure generated secrets
• docker-compose.prod.yml - Production Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and optional Nginx
• deploy.sh - Automated deployment script
• DEPLOYMENT.md - Comprehensive deployment guide

2. Nginx Reverse Proxy (Optional)

• nginx/nginx.conf - Production-ready Nginx config with:
  • HTTPS support (ready for Let's Encrypt)
  • Security headers
  • Rate limiting
  • HTTP → HTTPS redirect

3. Security Features Already Included

✅ Strong generated secrets (SECRET_KEY, OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET, POSTGRES_PASSWORD) ✅ PostgreSQL database with secure password ✅ Bcrypt password hashing ✅ Rate limiting on login endpoints ✅ Audit logging ✅ Health checks ✅ Session security ✅ Non-root Docker user

Quick Deployment (3 Steps)

Step 1: Configure Environment

# Copy production env file
cp .env.production .env

# Edit OIDC_ISSUER with your domain/IP
nano .env
# Change: OIDC_ISSUER=http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:5000
# Or: OIDC_ISSUER=https://auth.yourdomain.com

Step 2: Deploy

# Run deployment script
./deploy.sh

Step 3: Secure Admin Account

# Visit admin panel
# Default: admin/admin123
# CHANGE PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY!

Access: http://YOUR_SERVER:5000/admin/login

What's Ready Out of the Box

✅ OIDC Authorization Code Flow ✅ User Registration & Management ✅ Admin Dashboard with CRUD operations ✅ Role-based Access Control (admin, user, moderator, readonly) ✅ Permission System (JSON array of permissions) ✅ Audit Logging (login attempts, admin actions) ✅ Health Monitoring endpoint at /health ✅ Rate Limiting on sensitive endpoints ✅ PostgreSQL Database with persistent storage ✅ Docker Compose deployment ✅ Gunicorn WSGI Server (production-ready) ✅ Automatic Database Initialization with default users

Generated Secrets (Already in .env.production)

• SECRET_KEY: 8a84ce2f0be5f7062f5329d93032c95612547928fe97490e2ca63dea12cc8558
• OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET: nQT_E5iVbsGVOcLi8-yHxIF_sgG7UccHMv2GgvBEQ_g
• POSTGRES_PASSWORD: P_QbECpV03H6P9zQNuyu0lyLdOySrlr7Rr9HNpVG3aw

⚠️ These are cryptographically secure random values. You can use them as-is or regenerate new ones.

Deployment Options

Option A: Simple Deployment (HTTP, No Nginx)

Perfect for:

• Internal homelab networks
• Testing
• Behind existing reverse proxy

1. Edit .env → set OIDC_ISSUER
2. Run ./deploy.sh
3. Access at port 5000

Option B: Full Production with HTTPS (Nginx)

Perfect for:

• Public-facing deployments
• Production environments
• Maximum security

1. Generate SSL certificates (Let's Encrypt)
2. Edit nginx/nginx.conf → set your domain
3. Edit .env → set HTTPS OIDC_ISSUER
4. Run ./deploy.sh
5. Access at port 443 (HTTPS)

See DEPLOYMENT.md for detailed instructions.

Default Users

Created automatically on first run:

Admin User:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin123
• Role: admin
• Permissions: read:data, write:data, manage:users, manage:settings

Test User:

• Username: test
• Password: test123
• Role: user
• Permissions: read:data

⚠️ CRITICAL: Change admin password immediately after deployment!

Monitoring

Health Check

curl http://localhost:5000/health

Expected response:

{
  "status": "healthy",
  "database": "healthy",
  "timestamp": "2025-11-21T...",
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

View Logs

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f

Database Backups

mkdir -p backups
docker exec oidc_postgres pg_dump -U oidc_user oidc_db > backups/backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql

Management Commands

# Start services
./deploy.sh

# Stop services
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml down

# Restart services
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart

# View status
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps

# Update application
git pull
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build

OIDC Endpoints

Once deployed, your clients can use:

Discovery:

{OIDC_ISSUER}/.well-known/openid-configuration

Authorization:

{OIDC_ISSUER}/authorize

Token Exchange:

{OIDC_ISSUER}/token

UserInfo:

{OIDC_ISSUER}/userinfo

Client Configuration Example

For applications connecting to your OIDC provider:

{
  "issuer": "https://auth.yourdomain.com",
  "client_id": "homelab-client",  // From .env: OIDC_CLIENT_ID
  "client_secret": "nQT_E5iVbsGVOcLi8-yHxIF_sgG7UccHMv2GgvBEQ_g",  // From .env
  "redirect_uri": "https://your-app.com/callback",
  "response_type": "code",
  "scope": "openid profile email"
}

What's NOT Included Yet (Future Enhancements)

These are planned but not required for basic production:

• ⏳ Refresh Token Flow (TODO #2)
• ⏳ RS256/RSA JWT Signing (TODO #1) - currently uses HS256
• ⏳ Multi-Client Database Support (TODO #6) - currently one hardcoded client
• ⏳ Email Verification (TODO #8)
• ⏳ 2FA/MFA (TODO #9)
• ⏳ PKCE Support (TODO #5)

See TODO.md for complete roadmap.

Security Checklist Before Going Live

• Changed default admin password
• Reviewed generated secrets in .env
• Set correct OIDC_ISSUER (your domain)
• Configured HTTPS (if public-facing)
• Set up firewall rules
• Configured database backups
• Tested health endpoint
• Tested complete OIDC flow
• Reviewed audit logs
• Set up monitoring/alerting

Troubleshooting

See DEPLOYMENT.md Section "Troubleshooting" for detailed solutions.

Quick checks:

# Services running?
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps

# Health check passing?
curl http://localhost:5000/health

# Database accessible?
docker exec oidc_postgres pg_isready -U oidc_user -d oidc_db

# Check logs
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs
