Can I enabe auth_basic only for any server names?

[zakabluk]

Hi @bunkerity
I have server config

location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    auth_basic off;
}

location / {
	if ($host = elk-nomad) {
      proxy_pass http://nomad-ws;
	}

	if ($host = elk-nomad-pro) {
	  proxy_pass http://nomad-ws-pro;
	}

    if ($host = logs) {
      proxy_pass http://kibana;
    }

      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_read_timeout 310s;
      proxy_buffering off;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
      proxy_set_header Origin "${scheme}://${proxy_host}";

}

I have options

"AUTH_BASIC_LOCATION" = "sitewide"
"USE_AUTH_BASIC" = "yes"

and my goal it is auth_basic for elk-nomad and elk-nomad-pro. But for host = logs must be off.
I tried play with locations but it bad idea, becouse some locations is mixed beetween host names.

Now I seems like I have ony one solutions, it is two separate nginx - first with auth and secondary without + useing not 443 port for https.

Hello @zakabluk, you can try something like this :

location / {

        set $auth_basic Restricted;

        if ($host = www1) {
                proxy_pass http://www1;
        }

        if ($host = www2) {
                proxy_pass http://www2;
        }

        if ($host = www3) {
                proxy_pass http://www3;
                set $auth_basic off;
        }

        auth_basic $auth_basic;

}

@bunkerity yes it's help me. And little question for future. Can I use like this method for set separate options
for two sever names

      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_read_timeout 310s;
      proxy_buffering off;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
      proxy_set_header Origin "${scheme}://${proxy_host}";
