Access restriction in caddy web server

Question

My Caddyfile is pretty easy and looks like this:

:80
tls off
root /var/www
gzip
fastcgi / /var/run/php5-fpm.sock php

Is it possible to restrict access to /var/www/secret, so http://localhost/secret/secretfile.txt is no longer accessible?

Answer 1

You can use either basicauth or internal to achieve this. Since you want a secret directory, internal would be my recommendation here.

---

basicauth

basicauth /secret username password  

Still accessible, but protected with username/password.

internal

internal /secret

Not accessible, throws a 404 Not Found status.
