Aonsoku BasicAuth

Unofficial Aonsoku fork with reverse-proxy BasicAuth support for Traefik, Authentik, Pangolin, nginx, Caddy, and similar servers. Desktop song playback uses MPV by default to avoid Chromium/Web-audio failures with lossless and high-resolution streams.

This fork preserves upstream Aonsoku's MIT license and attribution. The only intended fork-specific surface is desktop Electron support for a separate reverse-proxy BasicAuth username and password plus MPV-first song playback. Proxy credentials are stored through Electron safeStorage and injected only for the configured server origin.

Support Scope

This repository tracks this fork's reverse-proxy BasicAuth/proxy-auth behavior and its MPV desktop song engine. General Aonsoku bugs, feature requests, server issues, and packaging requests outside this fork's published prereleases are out of scope here.

macOS Users: "App cannot be opened" or Crash on Launch

Since this application is not signed and notarized by Apple, macOS Gatekeeper may block it from running to protect your system. You might encounter:

1. A message saying the app "is damaged and can't be opened."
2. An immediate crash or error window upon launching.

To fix this, please follow these steps:

1. Move Aonsoku to your /Applications folder.
2. Open your Terminal.
3. Run the following commands to repair the permission and signature (you may need to enter your system password):

# 1. Remove the quarantine attribute (Fixes "App is damaged")
sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Aonsoku.app

# 2. Re-sign the application locally (Fixes immediate crashes/library errors)
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Aonsoku.app

4. You can now open Aonsoku normally.
