Google OAuth

Tinyauth has built-in support for Google OAuth, making it straightforward to set up.

Requirements

• A domain name (gTLDs required)
• A Google account

Creating the Google OAuth App

To begin, create an app in the Google Cloud Console. Create a new project (a default project may already exist). After creating the project, the following screen should appear:

From the quick access menu, click APIs & Services, then select OAuth consent screen from the sidebar. Click the Get Started button in the middle of the screen.

After clicking the button, the following screen should appear:

• App Name: Use Tinyauth.
• Support Email: Select the available email address.
• Audience: Choose External.
• Contact Information: Enter an email address.
• Agree to the data use policy and click Create.

After some time, the OAuth homepage will appear:

Click Create OAuth Client.

• Application Type: Select Web Application.
• Name: Optionally rename the client (default is Web Client 1).
• Authorized Redirect URIs: Add the domain with the /api/oauth/callback/google suffix, e.g., https://tinyauth.example.com/api/oauth/callback/google.

Click Create. Once the application is created, the following screen will appear:

Click the client (e.g., Web Client 1) and copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the Additional Information section.

Configuring Tinyauth

Add the following environment variables to the Tinyauth Docker container:

services:
  tinyauth:
    environment:
      - PROVIDERS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-google-client-id
      - PROVIDERS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-google-secret

Restart Tinyauth. Upon visiting the login screen, an additional option to log in with Google will appear.
