ActivityPod as OIDC provider?
Could ActivityPub integrate with something like https://gitlab.com/yaal/canaille/ so that it could provide web2.0 auth services too?
Canaille would need to be forked to use ActivityPod as the backend.
We talked about this with @Laurin-W today.
Indeed ActivityPods could become an OIDC provider. You could then connect to it like any other OIDC provider and get in return some informations about the user, like the WebID, the email and such.
Some related resources: https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider https://nat.sakimura.org/2013/07/28/write-openid-connect-server-in-three-simple-steps/
In https://github.com/assemblee-virtuelle/activitypods/pull/123 we have implemented the node-oidc-provider library so it should be possible in the future to use ActivityPods as a OIDC provider (at least it is advertised that the Community Solid Server can do that, and it uses the same library)
@samuk Unless you try to launch locally https://github.com/assemblee-virtuelle/activitypods/pull/123, you will have to wait for the release of ActivityPods 2.0, which is planned next spring.
I added a request for it to be packaged as a PikaPod. I don't know if they'll be interested in doing that.

Nice ! For information, as part of the NLnet grant I received, I will get support to package ActivityPods with Nix as well.
Thanks
I wonder if there is some possibility of supporting the Atproto DID spec too?
I notice that an existing DID:Solid spec exists.
Perhaps Bluesky might be interested in maintaining an ActivityPods instance(s) and using it as their identity provider?
As a user I would then have a single portable identity that I could use with ActivityPub, Solid or Atproto
Do you have a timeline for doing the Nix packaging? I don't know much about it but https://shipnix.io/ seems to make it easy
