Password auth not working

[NikoQT]

I tryed to configure an auth to enter the instance by using YTDL_OPTIONS_FILE but I could get it to work

Does anyone know how to configure it?

my json file:

{
"user": "",
"password": "",
"videopassword:": "***",
"geo_bypass": true
}

I also can't get this working. I tried it with YTDL_OPTIONS passed as an environment variable in my docker-compose.

Example:

version: "3.9"
services:
  metube:
    container_name: MeTube
    image: ghcr.io/alexta69/metube
    healthcheck:
     test: curl -f http://localhost:8081/ || exit 1
    mem_limit: 6g
    cpu_shares: 768
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    restart: on-failure:5
    ports:
      - 5697:8081
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/metube/downloads:/downloads:rw
    environment:
      UID: 1111
      GID: 111
      YTDL_OPTIONS: '{"username":"username-here","password":"super-secret-redacted-password"}'

In the end I used a nginx reverse proxy with htaccess and it does its job

I tried that but never got it to work properly. Could you share your (sanitized) docker-compose for the nginx reverse proxy?

Nevermind. Got it up and running wonderfully. Even made a nice customized 401 error page :)
