The guide is meant for debian but can be easily adapted to suit your needs. I assume you have followed Luke Smith’s tutorial and have NGINX running with certbot for certificates.

<p>First:</p>
|

|

|

|

<div class="highlight">
|

|
||
<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo apt install apache2</span></span></code></pre></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>Apache2 is only needed to create its files in /etc/ otherwsie apache2-utils commands below will fail. My configuration uses NGINX so I’ll delete apache2.</p>
|
||
<p>Second:</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<div class="highlight">
|
||
|
||
<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo apt install apache2-utils</span></span></code></pre></div>

<p>Third:</p>
|

|

<div class="highlight">
|
||
|

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo apt remove apache2</span></span></code></pre></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>Create a username you wish to authenticate with the following comnmand:</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<div class="highlight">
|
||
|
||
<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpasswd admin1</span></span></code></pre></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>You will be prompted to provide a password, feel free to generate a secure 32+ character one and save it in your password manager of choice.</p>
|
||
<p>If you wish to create multiple other users simply remove <code>-c</code> from the command and change the name.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<div class="highlight">
|

|

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo htpasswd /etc/apache2/.htpasswd admin2</span></span></code></pre></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>Then provide a new password (the same password can also work but it’s more secure that way).</p>
|
||
<h2 id="add-the-htpasswd-file-to-nginx">Add the <code>htpasswd</code> file to NGINX<a hidden class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="#add-the-htpasswd-file-to-nginx">#</a></h2>

<p>Navigate to the NGINX configuration file you wish to protect:</p>

|
||
|

<p>Add the following in the same <code>server</code> block and on the same level as <code>listen [::]:443 ssl;</code>:</p>
|

<div class="highlight">
