nut_webgui Feature Request: Password protect the WebUI

Thank you for this great project. Is it possible to somehow protect the WebUI with a user/password?

Best Regards, Donald.

Thanks!

I will add support for user authentication with the next release.

Not very intuitive to setup, but if you prefer to have some sort of user login right now, it's possible with reverse proxy auth middlewares or authentication providers like Authelia.

A simple login form with a password would be enough for me.

2 cents on this thread: Integrated basic auth is a good idea but I suggest it be a disabled by default. I have integrated https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy to nut-webgui and it does not need any authentication by the application (Acting more like a ZeroTrust than a fine-granted permissioner).

Authentication support is now part of the v0.6.0 release. See 08_enabling_auth for examples.

Integrated basic auth is a good idea but I suggest it be a disabled by default.

I agree, and it's disabled by default.
