Password protect metube UI about metube

I think that's good enough for me as well. Can you elaborate a bit how do you do it please?

set docker env "URL_PREFIX" to something https://github.com/alexta69/metube#configuration-via-environment-variables

If you need to return 404 when opening the root path (instead of jumping to URL_PREFIX), delete lines 162 to 164

metube/app/main.py

Line 162 in 8950665

@routes.get('/')

I don't think so. "username" and "password" in YTDL_OPTIONS are used for "authentication purposes" ^{1 2}

I think a better way is to use a reverse proxy such as nginx #150 #217 #226

Yeah, agree. Thanks for the confirmation and links!

My metube is on the internet and just takes the secondary path (for ifttt). According to the access logs, no one has guessed the correct path so far. So they will just get a 404.
I think metube is safe as long as address and path are not recorded in public.

You can use Authelia to implement this, as mentioned in the README.
