🔐 Unify Authentication to BetterAuth #10456
Description
Overview
In LobeHub 2.0, we will consolidate to a single authentication solution: BetterAuth. Support for AuthJS (NextAuth) and Clerk will be removed.
Why
- Celerk's customization is not flexible enough; for example, our clerk business requires the login component to support entering discount codes.
- Celrk's login component loads slowly.
- Authjs has been acquired by Better-Auth and is no longer maintained.
What will added
- email/password auth，this also reduces self-deployment costs
- magic link signin
Refactoring Plan
Step 1: Support BetterAuth on the next branch ✅
- ✨ feat: support better-auth #10215
- BetterAuth, AuthJS, and Clerk coexist
- New users are recommended to use BetterAuth
Step 2: Migrate Clerk to BetterAuth on Cloud
- Experiment with Clerk to BetterAuth migration on cloud
- After successful migration, remove Clerk support from the open-source version
- Provide migration scripts and documentation
Step 3: Migrate AuthJS to BetterAuth
- Implement AuthJS to BetterAuth migration
- Provide migration scripts and documentation
Current Status
- Step 1 completed
- Step 2 in progress
- Step 3 pending
Important Note
Migrating existing NextAuth or Clerk deployments to better-auth is not yet officially supported. For best results, use better-auth with a clean database on new projects
