Keyoxide is a modern, secure and decentralized platform to prove your online identity.

Self-hosting

Self-hosting Keyoxide is an important aspect of the project. Users need to trust the Keyoxide instance they're using to reliably verify identities. Making Keyoxide itself decentralized means no one needs to trust a central server. If a friend or family member is hosting a Keyoxide instance, it becomes much easier to trust the instance!

Docker

The Docker container allows you to easily self-host the Keyoxide project. To get started, simply run:

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 keyoxide/keyoxide:stable

Keyoxide will now be available by visiting http://localhost:3000.

To add support for Twitter account verification, make a developer account, obtain a Bearer token and run:

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e "TWITTER_API_AUTH=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" keyoxide/keyoxide:stable

Docker-compose

To run Keyoxide using docker-compose, add the following snippet to your docker-compose.yml:

keyoxide:
  image: keyoxide/keyoxide:stable
  ports:
    - 3000:3000
  environment:
    - TWITTER_API_AUTH=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
