Just a note for anyone else. I've been trying to setup pass-through authentication to this docker. The documentation for FreshRSS (under nginx) is not great, and it a took a while to figure it out. There's three changes you need to make (once you've set it up with an initial user). 1. Edit the file config.php (located in /config/www/freshrss/data/ ) and change the auth_type to http_auth: 'auth_type' => 'http_auth', Has to be done here as by default it's grayed out in the web ui. 2. Start the FreshRSS docker, and open a console into it. Then create your .htpasswd file: htpasswd -c /config/nginx/site-confs/.htpasswd <freshrss username> This will request the password for the user, and write the file out there. Repeat for any other users if need be. 3. Edit the nginx site file (located at: /config/nginx/site-confs/default ) server { listen 80; listen 443 ssl; index index.html index.htm index.php; server_name _; ssl_certificate /config/keys/cert.crt; ssl_certificate_key /config/keys/cert.key; client_max_body_size 0; root /usr/share/webapps/freshrss/p; index index.php index.html index.htm; location ~ ^.+?\.php(/.*)?$ { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } location / { try_files $uri $uri/ index.php; } location /i { auth_basic "Login"; auth_basic_user_file /config/nginx/site-confs/.htpasswd; location ~ ^.+?\.php(/.*)?$ { fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } } } Feel free to correct if necessary. This means if using a different reverse proxy than nginx or apache etc (i.e. edge firewall/router) to auth through that and pass through the auth directly to the application. Note the default is to just create a new user and log them in. There's another option in the config.php: 'http_auth_auto_register' => false, Thanks seeya.
