PWA is not available when HTTP Auth is enabled

[lexbritvin]

My server is configured to use HTTP Auth as described here https://github.com/YouROK/TorrServer#authorization
I tried to add PWA on iOS to use VLC link, but there is no Mobile App configuration view. I can't use VLC in PWA.

Steps to reproduce:
0. Use iOS

1. Configure HTTP Auth - https://github.com/YouROK/TorrServer#authorization
2. Open Safari and go to TS web UI
3. Add to Home (install PWA)
4. Open the app on Home

Expected result:
HTTP Auth is requested, PWA view is loaded, Mobile config page is available.

Actual result:
HTTP Auth is requested, PWA is not available, standard view is shown, Mobile config page is not available

I noticed: if I disable HTTP Auth, add PWA according to the steps, enable HTTP Auth again, all works as expected.
I suppose the issue may appear because PWA manifest is not available to Safari because of HTTP Auth header.

I suppose the issue may appear because PWA manifest is not available to Safari because of HTTP Auth header.

Added site.webmanifest to always accessible path, and can't reproduce on Android PWA app added from Chrome with HTTP auth enabled. So probably it's Safari issue and can't be fixed on TorrServer side.

I found 2 similar issues:
koajs/basic-auth#19

Maybe we need to implement the same?

Hi, I use v120 and can't use auth. I use docker with config:

docker run -d --name=torrserver \
            --restart=unless-stopped \
            -e TS_HTTPAUTH=1 \
            -v /docker/torrserver/db:/torrserver/db \
            -v /docker/torrserver/ts:/opt/ts \
            -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
            -p 8090:8090 solopasha/torrserver

and file accs.db

{
"ust":"Pass1"
}

I tried put accs.db in /ts, /db, /ts/config, /db/config. What I do wrong? Torrserver does't ask autentification

Hi @apnagaev

It's thread related to PWA, not issues with HTTP Auth.
Please, use search (#191) or create a new support issue. Don't post in other issues.

Besides, you are using image solopasha/torrserver, some other maintainer's project with a latest version, the version is not explicitly set. We can't confirm that you actually use v120.
We also can't support other repos here, you must send a support request in the original repo. It has a different Dockerfile.

Please, better use a docker image from current repository with an exact version, which is ghcr.io/yourok/torrserver:matrix.120

Answering your question, I can confirm TS_HTTPAUTH=1 works as expected in docker.

Here is an example of docker-compose.yml that I use.

version: "3.9"
services:
  torrserver:
    image: ghcr.io/yourok/torrserver:matrix.120
    container_name: torrserver
    network_mode: host
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./ts:/opt/ts
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
      TS_LOG_PATH: "/dev/null"
      TS_HTTPAUTH: "1"

You must ensure that you have the file /opt/ts/config/accs.db inside a container when you bind host FS inside a container.
In my case, it's ./ts/config/accs.db on host.
For you, according to your configuration, you have to put file in /docker/torrserver/ts/config/accs.db.

Besides, you bind -v /docker/torrserver/db:/torrserver/db. It won't be used by the original container.
The application works only inside /opt/ts.
Please, refer to the original documentation and docker image.

Sorry, youre are right, when I change image to ghcr.io/yourok/torrserver:matrix.120 torrserver started working

[tsynik]

probably fixed in MatriX.121 release

Reopen if issue is still active

[lexbritvin]

Still not fixed for me
