Go, Apache-2.0 licensed. The project labels itself: agent, agentic ai, agi, ai gateway, auth, authentication, iam and llm.
casdoor runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 16 minutes and hit 9 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
Casdoor server runs on port 8000 with SQLite, frontend serves index.html (200), login authenticates admin/123 via JSON API, OpenID Connect configuration endpoint returns valid metadata, and the API returns organization and user data from the demo seed.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- Go compiler not found in container2 minutes
- init_data.json does not exist (only template exists)2 minutes
- conf/app.conf configured for MySQL but no MySQL server available1 minute
- CreateDatabase() runs CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS which SQLite does not support1 minute
- Frontend yarn install fails on Node 18 due to eslint-visitor-keys engine requirement >=20.191 minute
- util.TestGetVersion fails - requires specific git history (v1.257.0 tag)
- Install time
- 16 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 14 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 9 hit, 9 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://localhost:8000/ returned 200; login POST to /api/login returned status:ok data:built-in/admin; /api/get-organizations returned 1 org 'built-in'; /.well-known/openid-configuration returned valid issuer and token_endpoint; go test ./conf/... passed (4/4); go test ./util/... -skip TestGetVersion passed

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.
200 All checks done. exec /bin/sh -lc 'pkill -f "casdoor-server" 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; echo "done"' in /work/repo exited 143 in 0ms: exec /bin/sh -lc 'pkill -f "casdoor-server" 2>/dev/null; echo "cleaned"' in /work/repo exited 143 in 0ms: All verified. Here is the final report: tokens used 354,721 All verified. Here is the final report:
Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Recovered from all 9 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Took 16 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 40 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.
Of the 41 agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, casdoor was the 31st fastest to reach a running state, and 31 of 41 reached one at all.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/casdoor)Questions
- Does casdoor run?
- Yes. casdoor runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 16 minutes, hitting 9 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test casdoor?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 0f7d6842f23f. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test casdoor?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.08: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does casdoor take to install?
- 16 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does casdoor need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing casdoor?
- 9 things broke in the recorded run, and 9 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- How does casdoor compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 41 agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, casdoor was the 31st fastest to reach a running state, and 31 of 41 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for casdoor?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
