Basic Authentication
This will enable a prompt for a username and password when accessing the URL path. You can add additional lines for additional users.
# Template:
basicauth <path> {
<username> <password-hash>
<username> <password-hash>
<username> <password-hash>
}
# Example:
basicauth / {
jake $2a$14$piTqBgsf7igbN2FQ9fOBvusCAIYGrgSBe6sj7FaGdLQg9zJcbhzCu
}
You can’t use a plaintext password, you must instead generate a hashed password. You can use Caddy’s hash-password command to do this.
Here’s an example using Caddy’s Docker image to hash Password123!.
docker run --rm -it caddy:2.6.2-alpine caddy hash-password
Enter password:
Confirm password:
$2a$14$piTqBgsf7igbN2FQ9fOBvusCAIYGrgSBe6sj7FaGdLQg9zJcbhzCu
