securing the service

[lezioul]

Hi,

i don't want my self hosted instance to be available to anyone but me.
I tryied adding an http auth in nginx but it keeps asking me for credentials.
Any idea?

Best regards,
lezioul

Do you mean it's asking repeatedly? That sounds like a browser issue caused by not sending the appropriate headers on each page load.

Also, I highly recommend securing this with HTTPS using basic HTTP authentication since without it, you're sending the username/password in plaintext.

Yep, https is enabled.
And Yes, it's asking repeatedly, but i have no issue with other reverse proxy using both nginx and node.js application.
