  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Question How to password protect website hosted with docker

ksdmg

New Pleskian
So I have a docker container that I want to expose through plesk. I have set it up and it's all working fine, however, when using the "Password Protected Directories" function on the website I have set the docker proxy rule for, it just proxies the connection right through to the container and does not ask for the password.
How can I achieve a secure protection to access the docker container?

Here is my setup in detail:
  • Website setup as web hosting in plesk
  • Docker Proxy rule for root url (subdomain.domain.xxx/)
  • Password protected directory for url "/"
 
  1. Disable the docker proxy rule
  2. Create `/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/.htpasswd` file as per Nginx documentation. Set right permissions.
  3. Add the following configuration into Plesk->example.come>Apache&Nginx settings->Additonal nginx directives:
location ~ ^/.* {
auth_basic "Restricted Area";
auth_basic_user_file "/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/.htpasswd";

proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:8080
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
That should do the trick.
