[Feature Request] Login functionality

[KylianJay]

Description

I would love to see something like a login function here!
My home server setup allows for homepage to be accessed through a URL, that is publicly accessible. Currently, it's protected using NPM (nginx proxy manager)'s access list, but this is very bothersome as it does not save login information, amongst other things.
I'm sure many other users will enjoy this feature as it adds to the security of their home network.

Other

• Functionality is easily implemented using existing open source auth libraries (Auth0, SuperTokens, etc..)

Based on the context provided, it seems that the Homepage project, which is a customizable application dashboard, does not currently have a built-in user authentication system for the dashboard itself. However, you've mentioned that you are currently using Nginx Proxy Manager's access list to protect your publicly accessible URL, which suggests that you are looking for a more integrated and user-friendly authentication solution within Homepage.

As of the information available up to the knowledge cutoff date, there is no direct mention of a native login feature being implemented in the Homepage project. However, the idea of adding such a feature has been discussed within the community. For instance, there was a suggestion to have a simple username/password system to lock the dashboard behind, which was closed in favor of a discussion on the topic (as seen in the issue #1125).

For the time being, if you are looking for a more persistent and user-friendly login method, you might need to continue using external tools like Nginx Proxy Manager or consider contributing to the project by proposing the feature and potentially helping with its development. The project's contribution guidelines encourage proposing new features and contributing to the project (as seen in CONTRIBUTING.md).

If you are interested in contributing such a feature, you should follow the project's contribution guidelines, which may include discussing the feature with the community to gauge interest and get feedback. You can start a discussion on the project's GitHub Discussions page or contribute directly by following the guidelines in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

For now, you may want to keep an eye on the project's GitHub repository for updates or discussions related to authentication features. You can also participate in the discussions to express your interest and provide input on how you envision the login functionality.

This is something we don’t really want to include in the project, getting into user management stuff is a pretty messy can of worms

anyway, see #529
