Basic auth for web server?

[rubengargar]

Hi,

I'm just updated our service to v2, and I see splendid features that I can use. One of them, is the integrated web server, but I would like to know if I can set some kind of Basic Auth for this custom web.

I have overwritten the generated index.html for my custom HTML, because I want some personalization further from default and also because I only need a big player view. Currently, I'm using Cloudflare->Nginx Reverse Proxy with Access List>Restreamer. Can I get rid of Nginx?

Thanks in advance!

@rubengargar - How exeactly are you config the Cloudflare->Nginx Reverse Proxy with Access List>Restreamer?
I am trying the same but can't figure out how.
Off course a native basic athorisation from the app would be way better.

Hi @danielgoz, we are moving away from this approach, but what we were doing is the following:

1. Under our /data/www of our Nginx Proxy Manager Docker we pasted the custom HTML&JS, based on the one you can find on this repo for the standard webplayer.
2. Create an A subdomain for our url on Cloudflare pointing to that NPM
3. On NPM, create an Access List for that web
4. On NPM, create a Proxy Host, with the domain name, destination ip and port (8080, 80...)
5. Check Cache Assets, Block Common Exploits. Select the previously created Access List
6. On Custom Locations, add the location with both slash at start and end, like "/location/". In forward hostname, we have to enter again the ip address with the same location, like "localhost/location/. Keep an eye on the slashes!
7. Add the SSL, and profit!

Some links about the configuration: NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager#1027, NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager#104

I don't know if you are using straight Nginx, in our case were using NPM for easier administration by our staff

Thanks man... I will give it a go...

Legend!
working as a charm.
it's kinda clanky though (sometimes it gets to a 403 forbbiden) but good enough for me.
the custom HTML&JS, thingy... is it because you want to customise the player page?
I dind't do anything like that...

[rubengargar]

Yep, that was only because we needed to show n number of players by each website, so we did a custom html page and the JS was for a dynamic list of players .
