Configuration (`bohurupee.yaml`)

Bohurupee loads YAML once at startup as a sparse overlay on the built-in default config (same content as bohurupee init / bohurupee.example.yaml: Alice, Bob, Carol, and the stock provider profiles). Omitted keys keep their defaults, except personas, which is required in every config file. With no --config flag it uses ./bohurupee.yaml when that file exists; otherwise it runs with those built-ins on port 4190, bind 127.0.0.1.

bohurupee init                  # write ./bohurupee.yaml
bohurupee                       # load ./bohurupee.yaml if present
bohurupee --config ./other.yaml

While the process is running, apply file changes without restart (loopback only):

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:4190/__reload

Reload updates personas, PKCE, idToken, openClient, refreshTokens, clients, and providerProfiles. It does not change the listen address or OIDC signing key. Invalid YAML leaves the previous config in place and returns an error JSON body.

CLI --bind / --port override the file for the current process only.

Top-level keys

`port`


Type	integer
Default	`4190`
Reload	ignored (listen address fixed at startup)

TCP port to listen on. 0 in the file falls back to the CLI default.

port: 4190

Equivalent flag: --port 4190.

`bind`


Type	string
Default	`127.0.0.1`
Reload	ignored

Host interface to bind. Non-loopback addresses are refused unless you pass --dangerously-bind-all-interfaces (or run the Docker image, which binds 0.0.0.0 inside the container on purpose).

In Docker, a loopback bind from the YAML (127.0.0.1, localhost, ::1) is upgraded to 0.0.0.0 so -p publishing works. The rest of the config still loads. An explicit --bind always wins.

bind: 127.0.0.1

# only with --dangerously-bind-all-interfaces (outside Docker)
bind: 0.0.0.0

Equivalent flag: --bind 127.0.0.1.

When --config is omitted, Bohurupee looks for ./bohurupee.yaml. In Docker it also tries /bohurupee.yaml and /config/bohurupee.yaml, or BOHURUPEE_CONFIG if set.

`pkce`


Type	string
Default	`optional`
Values	`optional`, `required`, `forbidden`
Reload	yes

Controls Proof Key for Code Exchange on authorize / token.

Value	Authorize	Token
`optional`	Challenge allowed but not required	Verifier checked when a challenge was sent
`required`	`code_challenge` must be present	Matching `code_verifier` required
`forbidden`	Challenge rejected	—

pkce: optional

pkce: required   # force S256 (or plain) on every login

pkce: forbidden  # reject clients that send a challenge

Supported challenge methods: S256 and plain.

`idToken`


Type	string
Default	`openid`
Values	`openid`, `always`
Reload	yes

When the token response includes an RS256 id_token.

Value	Behavior
`openid`	Issue `id_token` when the authorize `scope` contains `openid`
`always`	Always issue `id_token`, even without `openid`

A provider profile may also force tokens with protocol.id_token: true (Apple in the example config).

idToken: openid

idToken: always

Claims on the JWT include iss, sub, aud, iat, exp, email, email_verified, name, given_name, family_name, nickname, picture, optional nonce, at_hash, and non-reserved keys from persona claims.

`openClient`


Type	boolean
Default	`true`
Reload	yes

Open local client mode.

Value	Behavior
`true`	Any `client_id` works. If that id is listed under `clients` with `redirect_uris`, those URIs are enforced. Unlisted clients accept any absolute `http`/`https` redirect.
`false`	Every `client_id` must appear under `clients`. Clients with `redirect_uris` must use one of those URIs.

openClient: true

openClient: false
clients:
  - id: strict-app
    redirect_uris:
      - http://127.0.0.1:3000/callback

Secrets are never validated either way.

`refreshTokens`


Type	boolean
Default	`false`
Reload	yes

Opt-in refresh tokens. When false (default), the token JSON has no refresh_token field and discovery lists only authorization_code.

When true:

Code exchange may return refresh_token
Discovery adds refresh_token to grant_types_supported
grant_type=refresh_token issues a new access token (same refresh token reused)

refreshTokens: false

refreshTokens: true

Access tokens last 1 hour; refresh tokens last 24 hours (in memory).

`personas`


Type	list of objects
Default	Alice, Bob, Carol when no config file is loaded
Reload	yes

Required in every config file. An omitted personas key is an error (the built-in list is not inherited). An empty list is also an error. Each persona is a fake user you can pick on the consent page or select with ?auto=<id>.

Persona fields

`id` (required)

URL-safe slug: letters, digits; after the first character also - and _. Used in consent, auto=, and stable subject ids ({provider}:{id}).

- id: alice

`email`

Email claim on userinfo and id_token.

  email: [email protected]

`email_verified`


Type	boolean
Default	`true` when omitted

  email_verified: false

`name`

Display name. Split into given_name / family_name on templates and id_token (“Alice Admin” → Alice / Admin).

  name: Alice Admin

`nickname`

Short handle. Defaults to id when omitted. Often mapped to Socialite getNickname() / GitHub login.

  nickname: alice

`avatar`

Profile image URL.

Omission	Result
Key omitted	Dicebear identicon: `https://api.dicebear.com/9.x/identicon/svg?seed={id}`
`avatar: ""`	Empty string (missing picture tests)
Non-empty string	That URL

  avatar: https://example.com/alice.png

  avatar: ""

`claims`

Arbitrary JSON object merged into userinfo and id_token (except reserved JWT keys such as iss, sub, aud, exp, iat, nonce, at_hash).

  claims:
    role: admin
    org_id: "42"

`response`

Overlay map applied last in the userinfo merge (can clear getters). String values may use placeholders: {{id}}, {{sub}}, {{email}}, {{name}}, {{nickname}}, {{avatar}}, {{provider}}.

  response:
    picture: ""
    title: "{{nickname}}"

Persona examples

Admin with role claim:

personas:
  - id: alice
    email: [email protected]
    name: Alice Admin
    nickname: alice
    claims:
      role: admin

Unverified email:

  - id: bob
    email: [email protected]
    name: Bob User
    email_verified: false
    claims:
      role: user

No avatar (Socialite / UI empty-picture cases):

  - id: carol
    email: [email protected]
    name: Carol Reviewer
    nickname: carol
    avatar: ""
    response:
      picture: ""

`clients`


Type	list of objects
Default	none (open client)
Reload	yes

Optional registered OAuth clients. Duplicate id values are rejected.

Client fields

`id` (required)

Must match the authorize / token client_id.

`redirect_uris`

Exact-match allowlist. When non-empty, authorize rejects any other redirect_uri for this client (HTTP 400, no redirect).

clients:
  - id: my-app
    redirect_uris:
      - http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/auth/callback/bohurupee
      - http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/bohurupee

With openClient: true, clients not listed here still accept any valid redirect. With openClient: false, unlisted client_id values are rejected.

`providerProfiles`


Type	map keyed by provider slug
Default	stock profiles from `bohurupee.example.yaml` (Apple `form_post`, Facebook `/me`, …)
Reload	yes

Per-slug userinfo shape, extra routes, and protocol defaults. Key must be a valid provider slug (same rules as persona id). Entries in your file merge into the stock profile for that slug; omitted slugs stay as defaults.

See Provider profiles for merge order and the full template table. Summary of profile fields:

`responseTemplate`

Built-in template name: github, google, facebook, generic, …
Unknown names are rejected at load / reload.

providerProfiles:
  github:
    responseTemplate: github

`response`

Custom JSON merged into userinfo (supports {{placeholders}}).

  staffdir:
    response:
      title: Engineer
      username: "{{nickname}}"

`endpoints`

Extra paths. Today userinfo registers an alias on that provider:

  facebook:
    responseTemplate: facebook
    endpoints:
      userinfo: /me    # also GET /facebook/me

Note
Userinfo alias routes are registered when the process starts. Adding a new alias via reload updates rendering for existing routes; a new path may need a process restart to appear on the mux.

`protocol`

Defaults when the authorize query omits the matching parameter:

Key	Values	Effect
`response_mode`	`query` (default), `form_post`	How `code` / `error` return to the app
`id_token`	`true` / `false`	Force `id_token` on token response

  apple:
    responseTemplate: apple
    protocol:
      response_mode: form_post
      id_token: true

The client can still pass response_mode=query explicitly.

What is not in the YAML

Concern	Where it lives
Listen override	`--bind`, `--port`, `--dangerously-bind-all-interfaces`
Auto-approve every authorize	env `BOHURUPEE_AUTO_APPROVE=1`
OIDC signing key	`~/…/bohurupee/oidc.key` (created on first run)
Codes / tokens	Process memory only

Minimal configs

No file — built-in Alice / Bob / Carol on 127.0.0.1:4190:

bohurupee

A config file must include personas. Other keys stay at the defaults:

pkce: required
port: 5190
personas:
  - id: alice
    email: [email protected]
    name: Alice
  - id: bob
    email: [email protected]
    name: Bob
    email_verified: false

Partial provider profile (merges into the stock entry):

personas:
  - id: alice
    email: [email protected]
    name: Alice
providerProfiles:
  apple:
    protocol:
      response_mode: query

Strict local app:

openClient: false
clients:
  - id: next-local
    redirect_uris:
      - http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/bohurupee
personas:
  - id: alice
    email: [email protected]
    name: Alice Admin
