🔖 Feature description

I just set up uptime kuma along with traefik + authelia (an sso authentication provider) and disabled authentication in uptime kuma. To do so i had to create an account.

✔️ Solution

Add an environment variable to disable the builtin authentication.

❓ Alternatives

Disable authentication in the web ui.

I believe there are use-cases where you simply want to show a dashboard, and make it available for a group of people, without the need to setup users and authentication.

You have my vote too. I plan the same design for Uptime Kuma.

Just to clarify. Users like mine merely only need auth bypass for specific status pages. Not free reign to the dashboard.

In the same topic, maybe a non login page displaying the status but restrict any changes. That would be a great feature

i would die for this feature

I might be misunderstanding, but I think some of these features already exist.

1. You can completely disable authentication (if you're using something like Authelia). This was added in 1.0.8.
2. You can display a status page to users without them needing to authenticate (or have access to the dashboard). This was added in 1.13.1.

@david-plugge what feature are you missing? It seems to me that the feature you are referring to already exists. (as commented by @flammable)

If this issue is resolved, could you close this issue? If it is not, could you comment further details what parts you are missing?

[david-plugge]

Yes, you can disable authentication once you created an account. But I was thinking about an environment variable like DISABLE_AUTH=1 to disable it so you don't need to create an account first.

hi @david-plugge, are that way to disable auth with environment possible right now ?

[david-plugge]

Not yet, still waiting for it :)

[clitters]

This really would be useful. Im running my kuma inside a docker container, behind a reverse proxy that already handles my authentication. The container has no more exposed ports. Therefore i dont need/want any authentication ;)
