Generic OIDC support

[gianmarcomurru]

It would be super nice to have a generic OIDC support along Google/GitHub oAuth! This could work with Authelia, Authentik and other SSO providers

This was asked often in the past (it was quit for a year a so and is now starting to become a topic again). From my side it's still a no:

#2718

https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#feature-request
We will not extend Calibre-Web with any more login abilities

Maybe you can convince the owner of this fork to implement it:

oh man this is sad news. I use Authentik, not google or Git Oauth

Very disappointing. This isn't a entirely new login flow that would need a large amount of code to support it. It is a request to extend usage of https://oauthlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2/endpoints/endpoints.html to a generic oidc beyond google/github. Selfhosting Authentik/Keycloak/Dex/Authy/etc is getting more and more common. There seems to be quite a few open issues relating to reverse-proxy auth config that likely only exist because of this feature gap.
