I have a general question. How high of a priority is MongoDB login? It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen any updates so I thought I might just ask here.

hey @dinko7 we do not plan on contriubting to it anytime soon. Maybe next to next year. Not sure

Hey @dinko7 , I'm also exploring self hosting of the core using MongoDB. As authentication via mongo is not supported by supertokens, are you using something else along side supertokens ?

hey @zealous_lemur_76732 most people with this use case don't use self hosted and go for the managed service. Or else, they spin up a mysql / postgresql database for the self hosted core.

hey @rp_st , yes, it makes totally sense. I have a special use case in which I'm not allowed to use any SQL (So only MongoDB or neo4j) and it needs to be self hosted. Just wondering if it is possible to plug in another authentication to the core ? (I was thinking about implementing it in our existing next.js adding NextAuth)

Not possible at the moment.

I decided to self hosted Pocketbase for auth, but you can also use Firebase or Supabase auth as well. I’m not planning on rolling out my own auth.
