Self-hosted Google authentication support
xpenser added self-hosted Google authentication support so private deployments can offer a familiar sign-in path when configured.
Self-hosted deployments gained a clearer path for Google sign-in configuration.
This release came from PR #25 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.
What changed
- Added support for Google authentication in self-hosted contexts.
- Aligned auth settings with deployment configuration.
- Kept local and hosted sign-in behavior explicit.
Why it matters
Some self-hosted users want private infrastructure while still using a familiar identity provider. Configurable Google auth supports that mode without making it mandatory.
Where it fits
This improves the deployment flexibility of xpenser for individuals and small teams.
