What a business may do with it
Not identifiedNOASSERTION
GitHub could not match this licence to a standard one. It may be custom or source-available; read the repository’s LICENSE file before relying on it.
This describes the licence family GitHub identified, not legal advice about this project. The repository’s own LICENSE file is what binds you.
Run it yourself
Fief’s README does not show a docker run, docker compose up or helm install in a code block, so this page will not guess one. It may be a desktop app, a library, or documented on its website.

Where this page comes from
- Stars, licence, activity, issues, releases and the self-host command are read from the repository. 2026-10-18
- The pairing with Auth0 and Okta and the category come from opensourcealternative.to, a community directory of open-source alternatives. We re-read it weekly.
- Star momentum comes from our own daily readings of the repository. How we collect data
