Where to put .htpasswd to limit access?

[Ruharc]

I am using the directions for installing on Linux, actually running it on an Unraid server. It is up and running great. I setup a second instance for a friend but he needs to access it offsite. I can forward the ports but I don't want it to be strictly open to the world. I can usually add a .htpasswd file to the folder with the html/php file, but I have looked through the entire folder structure and can't find anywhere to put this to make it work like I have for other services.

Any ideas on how to make very basic authentication work like this?

And yes I know this isn't as secure as setting up reverse proxy and or vpn, etc... Just interested for right now in a very basic http auth setup.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry, this is unfortunately way outside of my knowledge space. I did a bit of googling but didn't find anything promising. If it helps,

• P2G Api is a .NET Core Web Api
• P2G WebUI is an ASP.NET Core Blazor WebUI

The WebUI should be the only one you need to lock down since the API does not need to be exposed publicly.

Ok, no worries! I have gotten it to work for basic containers that have an actual file for the web page, but I don't see any actual pages that the UI displays. Are these basically generated on the fly as the script runs?
