App Proxy Auth
-
The App Proxy is a handy little app. Thank you.
Feature request: It would be really useful if the App Proxy could, like some other apps, insert authentication in front of my proxied app. That is, I would love to say "require a valid Cloudron user before you proxy through."
I haven't looked at the App Proxy repo yet, but if this would be an easy option to turn on, it would be something I would use immediately. That way, I could have some authentication/protection at the Cloudron "gateway," and just bounce valid users through.
I use Cloudron on a Dell 7040 I bought on eBay.

@jadudm is https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#proxyauth what you're looking for?

@jdaviescoates Yep. That was it.
I will look at the source for App Proxy, and look at adding it/making a pull request. (Unless someone beats me to it.)

@jadudm @jdaviescoates Those are separate things.
One is 'App Proxy' - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#app-proxy . This is for apps hosted external to Cloudron.
Other is an addon - https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#proxyauth . This is for apps hosted on Cloudron itself. This one adds the authentication feature to apps that don't have any.
So, if I understand correctly, you want to have the 'App Proxy' have the proxy authentication feature

?@girish Hi Girish. You got it.
I have a small IoT service hosted in the home network that adding auth/protection to would be painful. (It doesn't have a notion of auth, I don't think. So, Cloudron-as-LDAP-authority doesn't even save me.) The App Proxy feature made it easy to bounce through to it from outside, but I don't want it unauthenticated.
So, yes. You nailed exactly what I was wondering.

To add some more context, this is about essentially enabling the
proxyAuthaddon to the app proxy app withoptionalSsoset in the manifest. This is implemented by now, pending a Cloudron and proxy app release. -
@nebulon Hello, any updates on this matter? This would be good to protect my grafana loki instance with cloudron authentication. Thanks
@TomsFreitas this will be part of 7.4 (expected end of this month)
