I love this.

Except to use tailscale you do need to bring in a while OIDC authentication provider.

It's all small and aimed at avoiding scale until the very first step, when suddenly only the big complex thing is acceptable.

I still just want to just use my email and a top. The only one of the auth providers tailscale supports that I have is GitHub, but I don't use GitHub as beyond work as I self host my git.

When the onboarding is "maintain and run a full oidc provider", all we've done is trade one aspect of complexity for another.
