Kangaroo: An OAuth2 Server

Kangaroo is an open source, multi-tenant, OAuth2 Authorization server. It fully supports RFC 6749 (The original OAuth2 Specification), and aspires to be a reference implementation thereof. We intend to expand the scope of this project to include other OAuth2 related RFC's.

For The Curious

If you are interested in exploring the capabilities of the project, simply run this command on a ready docker host, and direct your browser at http://localhost:8080/

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 kangaroo/kangaroo-master:latest

Note: OAuth2 requires HTTP TLS encryption, so the standalone server will generate and sign its own certificate. Your browser will notify you of the untrusted nature of this certificate every time the process is restarted.

Documentation

How can I help?

We maintain an active list of issues, and use github's project tracker for larger bodies of work. To coordinate and ensure that your work is not being duplicated, please reach out the the community in the IRC Channel channel.

Philosophy

We adhere to the doctrine of Choose Boring Technology. This is done mostly out of a need for project sanity; if development, packaging, and deployment get too complex, we risk being labeled as an "Experts only" project, reducing adoption and hampering forward motion.

We expect 100% test coverage. While we understand that this does not necessarily guarantee good tests, it does force a contributing engineer to think through edge cases in a way that might otherwise be skipped.
