Nice! Lowering barriers to the use of technologies like these is important. Would anyone else be interested in hosting Mozilla Persona? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona

Thanks! I didn't know about Mozilla Persona but I think it is possible to use Hydra + Persona.

If you're interested in this sort of thing, Doorkeeper[1] is a robust, open source OAuth 2 provider that's been around for about 5 years. We use it as a standalone app, and have many other node.js apps that sign in using it.

Thanks, however Doorkeeper is an SDK, right? With Hydra, you simply boot the docker image and are done.

If you're interested in OAuth2 frameworks, check out [fosite](https://github.com/ory-am/fosite), which is like Doorkeeper for Go.

Doorkeeper is closer to a full-package with customizable features, including a basic frontend. I'm not too familiar with hydra, but it seems Doorkeeper is best when you want to get the full OAuth app & user interface running (and customize later), whereas Hydra is best when you want to get a quick OAuth API app and build your own frontend. Would you say this is accurate?
