App Proxy Auth

[jdaviescoates]

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

[jadudm]

@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 ?

[jadudm]

@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.

@jadudm thanks, we have been meaning to add this one. I have opened an internal task (https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/issues/816)

To add some more context, this is about essentially enabling the proxyAuth addon to the app proxy app with optionalSso set 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)

@girish Thanks for the answer! Looking forward to it
