VoidAuth is an open-source authentication platform for self-hosted applications. It provides an OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider and forward-auth proxy support so reverse proxies can protect applications with one login system. Administrators manage users, groups, and app access from a web interface, while end users sign in with a simple, consistent experience. It is a useful lightweight choice for homelabs and small teams that need centralized authentication without complex commercial identity products.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
