Authentification / user management / media player user synchronisation

[Khaaz]

Hello,
First of all very nice project.

I am wondering about authentication and user management.

• Whether I use Plex or Jellyfin, can Yamtrack be synchronised with the user used in plex/jellyfin?
• Maybe can I have auth with plex/jellyfin in Yamtrack?
• Or can I have email matching of some sort so the user are matched automatically?
• Can I setup Google Oauth as well? (I think that would be my prefered solution, Google oauth in jellyfin and in yamtrack and it would match automatically based on email maybe?)

In the case of "only one user" in yamtrack for the Jellyfin instance for example, I would love to have no authentification at all. I use authelia at the reverse proxy level so I'd rather not have any auth at all in that case.
Obviously the prefered solution is an external Auth that sync with the jellyfin / plex account that watched movie / serie.

Thanks in advance for any help and clarification on these points !

Hi

It doesn't currently have two-way sync with Plex/Jellyfin, but it does support webhook integrations, so when you watch something in Plex/Jellyfin it's automatically added to your Yamtrack account.

Yamtrack implements OAuth integration with django-allauth, which has Google OAuth integration. You'll need to configure some environment variables: https://github.com/FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack/wiki/Environment-Variables#user-and-system-configuration

For example, here's a guide on how to add OIDC and Github OAuth to Yamtrack: https://github.com/FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack/wiki/Social-Authentication-in-Yamtrack

I haven't tested OAuth with Google, but the django-allauth documentation might be helpful: https://docs.allauth.org/en/latest/socialaccount/providers/google.html

Thanks for the fast answer.

There is one thing that still isn't super clear to me:

• I understand that i can filter at the webhook level to get events only for the jellyfin user I care about
• Is there a way to have as many yamtrack user as I have jellyfin users? Each of them getting the watch events for the right account?

If possible:

• how is the matching done? With the user email?

If that's not possible:

• is it planned?
• is "auth with jellyfin / auth with plex etc" planned?
• would it be possible to add an entire "no auth" at all. In the case where i'm gettings synchronisation only for one user, it means I'll mostly use yamtrack for one user and in that case I'd remove auth entirely to put it behind authelia at the reverse proxy level. (although i guess I could setup authelia SSO and re-auth would be seemless since I would be already authenticated?)

Thanks again for the answers, I'll have a look for the Google oauth in the meantime

Authentication with Jellyfin is not currently supported, but you can configure Yamtrack with multiple SSO providers.

For example, you could configure Jellyfin and Yamtrack with OIDC to share users. You would create a Yamtrack account with your OIDC account, and each user would have a different webhook URL for Jellyfin.

If you have SSO configured in Yamtrack, there is an environment variable to disable local authentication.
