Preview the new feature in 6.0.1

[nj]

My cloudron instance was upgraded to v6.0.1 from v5.6.x today. In the change log, I saw this line:

• Apps can optionally request an authwall to be installed in front of them

What exactly is the authwall feature, and how it works? I searched the docs and forum but no information is available yet. Does any of the existing apps make use of that feature?

@nj check out this video https://videos.cloudron.io/videos/watch/7774aa02-2256-4f76-b626-9ed78d96f535

It's for apps that have no authentication themselves.

is there a method to have this be selectable on install or enabled after install?
or is the only method (for now) to enable manually on build?

@plusone-nick it's really a feature that packagers can use to avoid writing extra code. Specifically it's for apps that have no user management. There is not user facing changes.
