Question

Hey folks Just came across Ory and looking to see if it will fit my use case for a complete user solution Trying to get a test build working with Ory cloud to see if it can replace the existing Auth0 flow I have been working with I really don t enjoy the idea of user based pricing upside down face So if I can eventually get Ory dropped in as a replacement handling frontend login and authorising to a backend then I m ready to dive all in

Thanks team I am using <https www ory sh nextjs authentication spa custom flows open source > to try and get the frontend integrated first to my React NextJS site then will look into the backend side protecting API s slightly smiling face Will let you know how I go

OK I ve got the front end to a point that login logout are working and I think I am starting to get how things hang together rocket However I am pretty stumped on a few things with the backend I want to use Cloud but going through the documentation I am confused as to whether I still need to use Ory Proxy or not and what that would then look like in production Ideally I would just be able to set the URL to my project and map to my domain Is this doable at the moment

Does the npm version need to be updated I m getting errors trying to install on mac and it is trying to install v0 86 0 by the looks of it not v0 1 0 ```npm i save ory cli```

Are you looking to install the CLI or the Kratos client The CLI is not on NPM The client SDK is here and can be installed with ```npm i save ory kratos client```

As for the Ory Proxy in production <https www ory sh docs guides proxy ory proxy for production> What are you trying to do in the backend

creamy-action-66479 · Answer

On the Install the Ory CLI page it has an NPM section so got confused by that I have a version of the Typescript example from here running locally with Ory Proxy and am trying to test it in a server environment next On the backend I m trying to use Ory to protect API endpoints basically and tell which user is making an action Let me know if easier to take this chat anywhere else btw blush

You re right my bad Looks like the npm version is lagging behind indeed cc < high optician 2097>

For authorizing API endpoints you d typically use Ory Keto which isn t available in Cloud yet It s on the roadmap for Q2 2022 afaik You can host keto yourself or store some kind of permissions table in whatever database you are using based on the identity But I m going to let someone who knows more about it speak more definitively there

creamy-action-66479 · Answer

Yep i am doing a permissions table in my database at the moment I am really just trying to get the JWT to know who the user is and that they are logged in etc because for my use case at the moment I think that will work that s all I was using with Auth0 previously slightly smiling face
