1) Install

git clone https://github.com/ericthelemur/decap-cms-oauth-provider.git
cd decap-cms-oauth-provider
python -m pip install pipenv
pipenv install

2) Config

Auth Provider Config

Configuration is done with environment variables, which can be supplied as command line arguments, added in your app hosting interface, or loaded from a .env file.

Example .env file:

OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=f432a9casdff1e4b79c57
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=pampadympapampadympapampadympa
REDIRECT_URL=https://your.server.com/callback
GIT_HOSTNAME=https://github.website.com
SSL_ENABLED=1

RUN_HOST=127.0.0.1
RUN_PORT=5000

Client ID & Client Secret: After registering your Oauth app, you will be able to get your client id and client secret on the next page.

Redirect URL (optional): Include this if you need your callback to be different from what is supplied in your Oauth app configuration.

Git Hostname (Optional): This is only necessary for use with Github Enterprise.

CMS Config

You also need to add base_url to the backend section of your netlify-cms's config file. base_url is the live URL of this repo with no trailing slashes.

backend:
  name: github
  repo: user/repo   # Path to your Github repository
  branch: master    # Branch to update
  base_url: https://your.server.com # Path to ext auth provider

3) Run it

With your virtual environment activated run the server as follows

pipenv run python main.py
