Bundles the console work from the current branch: the header account control, database-backed roles and permissions, and signing out across the applications that share this sign-in. The account control replaces a separate identity chip and a separate sign-out button, which meant the header carried two controls describing one fact. web/account.js is mounted into every page by a placeholder and owns the keyboard handling, the outside-click behaviour and the sign-out form once. It also fills the trigger's name, which the previous markup left empty. Signing out revokes the hosted-login bearer sessions this installation issued, then redirects to the provider's end_session_endpoint when the discovery document advertises one. Applications that authenticate against this installation therefore lose their session too; one pointed straight at an identity provider is out of its reach and is unchanged. Roles and permissions become rows rather than a closed enum, so a tenant can extend the catalog without a migration, and a role can no longer be granted a capability that is not in it. requireSameOrigin now compares against the origin the request arrived on instead of the configured base URL, which defaulted to http://localhost:8080 and so rejected every write in a deployment that never set it. Two bugs found while verifying in a browser: - A profile picture never rendered. avatarURL built an absolute URL from the configured base URL, and the page's own img-src 'self' blocked it. The console's own pages now take a root-relative path; only /connect/userinfo, read from another origin, needs an absolute one, and it follows the request. - absoluteURL preferred the configuration over the request while its comment claimed the opposite, which also misdirected the logout redirect. Card layout: the footer was one two-column row shared between a label and a forty-character identifier, so the identifier took the width and crushed its label into three stacked words. Each pair is a line now, the value truncates with the full text in the title, and cards align their footers across a row. |

Go Loose
Go Loose is a multi-tenant API-key control plane for Go HTTP services. It gives operators a web console to register tenant applications, issue and revoke keys, import OpenAPI contracts, and inspect API metadata. Applications use the public client package as fail-closed middleware: requests without a valid key never reach the protected handler.
Start locally
docker compose up --build
Start the shared TLS proxy using /home/dnoulet/go/infrasctruture, add
127.0.0.1 auth.dev nmbs.auth.dev ypto.auth.dev to /etc/hosts, then open
https://auth.dev. The Compose setup deliberately enables database login and
private OpenAPI URL scanning for local development. Never use unrestricted
private URL scanning in production.
On a fresh database, open https://auth.dev/install, enter the Google OAuth client secret from Google Cloud Console, and optionally seed the NMBS and YPTO Guess demonstration data. The CMS Demo client ID and callback URL are prefilled. See the installation guide for Google setup, first-admin behavior, waiting-room approval, and all demo credentials.
The bare auth.dev host is reserved for system-administrator SSO. Tenant administrators use database credentials on their tenant host, such as https://nmbs.auth.dev.
If PostgreSQL port 5433 is occupied, set GO_LOOSE_POSTGRES_PORT=15432.
The first Google SSO user becomes system administrator. Later SSO users remain in a waiting room until the system administrator assigns a tenant, role, and application access. Tenant administrators can manage only their own tenants.
Request flow
Caller
└─ X-API-Key: gl_...
└─ Your Go API + go-loose/client middleware
└─ POST /api/v1/authorize → Go Loose
├─ hash key, evaluate status/expiry/tenant/app/host
├─ write authorization audit event
└─ allow with tenant/key principal OR deny
Only a SHA-256 digest and a short display prefix are stored. A plaintext key is shown once at creation. The client strips the credential before calling the protected handler.
Configuration
Copy .env.example for direct local execution. Important settings:
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
GO_LOOSE_DATABASE_URL |
PostgreSQL connection string |
GO_LOOSE_SESSION_SECRET |
At least 32 random characters; rotate through a planned session invalidation |
GO_LOOSE_BASE_URL |
Public origin, used for secure cookies and same-origin checks |
GO_LOOSE_OIDC_* |
OIDC issuer, client ID, secret, and callback URL |
GO_LOOSE_ALLOWED_EMAIL_DOMAINS |
Optional comma-separated SSO email-domain allowlist |
GO_LOOSE_LOCAL_LOGIN |
Enables database-backed login for seeded and invited users |
GO_LOOSE_LOCAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD |
Optional compatibility bootstrap; omit for installer-first deployment |
GO_LOOSE_DEV_LOGIN |
Local-only login; keep false in production |
GO_LOOSE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_CONTRACT_URLS |
Allows scanning internal/loopback OpenAPI URLs; local-only unless egress is isolated |
Production must place Go Loose behind TLS, use a secret manager, set GO_LOOSE_BASE_URL to the HTTPS origin, disable development login, and configure OIDC. Swagger UI is available at /docs only after login.

Profile
Every management session can open /profile to set a display name and a profile picture. Pictures are stored in PostgreSQL and served from a public, unguessable URL that client applications can embed directly. Display names stop being overwritten by the identity provider once the user customizes them. See roles and capabilities.
Development
go mod download
make fmt
make test
make vet
make build
Development requires Go 1.27.1 or newer.
Migrations run transactionally at startup and are tracked in schema_migrations. See the operations guide before creating one.
make integration-db creates the two scratch databases the database-backed tests use, and make integration-test runs them. Those tests drop every table they touch, so they refuse to run against a database whose name does not contain test. That guard exists because pointing them at a development database destroys it.
Hot reload
make compose-dev-up starts a development stack that runs Go Loose under Air. Air watches cmd, internal, client, and web, rebuilds on every change, and writes the binary to ./dist. Changes to web/ are embedded at build time, so editing a template, stylesheet, or script triggers a rebuild too. The server restarts in place and /healthz confirms it came back.
make compose-dev-up # build the image, start postgres and Air
make compose-dev-logs # follow the rebuild and request logs
make compose-dev-down # stop and remove the stack
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
GO_LOOSE_DEV_PORT |
8080 |
Host port for the dev server |
GO_LOOSE_POSTGRES_PORT |
5433 |
Host port for PostgreSQL |
The dev stack binds mounts the source tree, so Air writes dist/go-loose as root inside the container. On Linux, delete it with sudo rm dist/go-loose if the file ownership gets in the way.
docker-compose.yaml remains the stack that matches production: a distroless image, no dev login, and the local-dev-edge network. docker-compose.dev.yaml and Dockerfile.dev are development-only.
The database is not bind mounted into the source tree: PostgreSQL stores its files as 0700 owned by its own user, which would make go build ./... fail to walk the directory. docker-compose.yaml uses the db-data volume and docker-compose.dev.yaml uses a separate db-data-dev, so docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml down -v cannot reach the real database. Reach a database through the published 5433 port or docker compose exec postgres psql -U goloose -d goloose.
The dev database starts empty and migrations rebuild it on boot. make compose-dev-down also empties ./dist, because Air writes that binary as root inside the container.
