Easiest way to add security layer to Genghis?

[acoyfellow]

I figured this would be somewhat simple, but I can't find a elegant solution to simply password protect a port that genghis is running on for example (MEAN stack).

Love the work put into Genghis-- thank you very much!

Are you running the PHP or Ruby backend for Genghis? If Ruby, you can easily use HTTP basic auth via Rack. Make a config.ru file somewhere:

require 'genghis'

use Rack::Auth::Basic, 'Genghis' do |u, p|
  u == 'admin' && p == 'hunter2'
end

run Genghis::Server

Then start it with rackup.
