New page
Generate htpasswd password and put it in file

<pre>

# echo "admin:$(openssl passwd -apr1 Q89C82CNCeLxfSX3)" | sudo tee -a /etc/nginx/.htpasswd

# cat /etc/nginx/.htpasswd

</pre>



In server block, under location you wanna add password for, add:

<pre>

        auth_basic "Restricted Content";

        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;

</pre>



Example:

<pre>

server {

    listen 80 default_server;

    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;



    root /usr/share/nginx/html;

    index index.html index.htm;



    server_name localhost;



    location / {

        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

        auth_basic "Restricted Content";

        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;

    }

}
