Hi @fred-123. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The provided knowledge sources do not contain information on how to password-protect a website deployed on Fly.io using the Wasp framework. I recommend checking the official Fly.io documentation or their community support for more specific guidance on this topic.

Sorry @fred-123, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?
@kapa.ai how can i make all pages require the wasp build in authentication?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
In Wasp, you can make all pages require authentication by setting
authRequired: true for each page in your main.wasp file. This will ensure that only logged-in users can access these pages.
Here's an example of how you can define a page that requires authentication:
In the above example, MyPage will only be accessible to users who are logged in.
To enable authentication, you need to configure the auth field of your app declaration. Here's an example of how to do this:
In the above example, MyApp is configured to support multiple authentication methods: username and password, email, Google, and GitHub. You can choose the methods that best suit your needs.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the Wasp Auth Overview (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/overview) and the Wasp Auth Methods (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/overview#available-auth-methods) documentation.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?no one is going to find your site until you list it on search engines and have a proper domain
i also might add that no one cares if they do find it
unless you give free money away don't worry about it
I do care. It does have a domain. Fly.io provides a default domain.
right that cannot be found probably
even if they allow search engine indexing
it is not a proper domain
just block search engine bots if you don't want it listed anywhere
it is a proper domain. Google and other search engies terat subdomains just the same as any other domain
block search engines
I don't just want to robots.txt it. I want it behind a password
or just require auth on all pages it is pretty easy to add
that way anybody can still sign up before its ready
i don't get it sign up for what? do you want the pages inaccesible or accessible?
You don't have to get it
put an email signup page if you won't give them access
I want the page inaccessible for now as per the title of the thread
if it is inaccesible how are they going to sign up?
I don't want anybody to sign up for now. I just need it outside of localhost to test it with some other things that can't be tested in localhost
ok just require auth on all pages and don't put a sign up page that's one way of solving it
Yep, the best thing would be to put a
authRequired on all pages and add auth (if you haven't already). That's the vanilla way and I know it works.
Another thing you could do ... it's a bit of a temporary hack is to add the Express basic auth middleware: https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-basic-auth
as one of the global middleware https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/advanced/middleware-config
⚠️ I haven't tested this out and it might break your site and not work as expected.npm
express-basic-auth
Plug & play basic auth middleware for express. Latest version: 1.2.1, last published: 3 years ago. Start using express-basic-auth in your project by running
npm i express-basic-auth. There are 437 other projects in the npm registry using express-basic-auth.Configuring Middleware | Wasp
Wasp comes with a minimal set of useful Express middleware in every application. While this is good for most users, we realize some may wish to add, modify, or remove some of these choices both globally, or on a per-api/path basis.
I have the same use case, trying a few things now. Possibly implement a invite only system.
@miho apreciate you looking into this. I will try this out.
I have this, that works like password protected page. Idk If helps
Wohooo @NEROX, you just became a Waspeteer level 13!
