    while installing nodebb (and other apps) i often have to make them priviate, ideally i can do this with a quick HTTP auth, has cloudron gained this support for all apps yet? how best to leverage, if not what is the suggested way for an app like nodebb

      @chris we don't have a generic mechanism to protect via http proxy, no. Usually, apps implement this themselves, if it makes sense for them. For example, WP has many plugins for this. Maybe NodeBB has one as well, you can ask in their forums maybe.

        @girish Could this be added to the new app proxy feature in Cloudron?

          @robi I think @chris wants this to be on any app i.e dynamically enabled/disabled. The current app proxy is done at packaging level.

          While possible, I am not sure if we want this though. HTTP proxy auth on the browser is not very friendly and also breaks most mobile apps. You have to double login for apps like nodebb as well (http auth login and then the nodebb login). There is no obvious way to logout with http auth and so on. This is why it's best implemented in the app itself.

            @girish got it.. then perhaps use Surfer as the pw protected auth wall and redirect to the app from there via html or js.
