Hello

Are there best practices or documentation to enable basic auth on a piaware install for the web interface?

thanks

Not that I'm aware of, but something like https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/HowToBasicAuth might be a good starting point assuming you're sticking with lighttpd. I'd suggest putting the config in your own parallel /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/ config fragment if you can.

okay thanks, can do that. I was not sure if there were implications of changing the config that might cause it to get overridden with package upgrades, etc
