Not the creator of this, but as an indie dev working on a sideproject that requires login, I also only expose third party auth as a means to avoid bots and malicious actors.

I do have email authn enabled behind a flag though, and if anyone tells me that they want access without a social account I can share that special url with them.

FWIW, I also avoid social logins, but I'm less vocal about it.

Yes, that's one of the big hurdles at install. We solved it by logging in from our Gitea instance.

Anything that is self hostable should have local login by email.

Not having this means the login is not self hosted

Outline only uses SSO for authentication. The solution when self hosting is use a private keycloak server [1]. This allows you to do email based auth.

You can self host SSO. You maybe do already. Nextcloud, Gitea and Mattermost offer these services. We tried to use Mattermost but it didn't work. We went with Gitea. I only discovered later than Nextcloud also did.

I really would like to try this out locally.

Then I realized it seems like it can’t without an internet connection.
