Using Nginx as reverse proxy

As Argos has no authentication mechanism for the front-end, you need to protect some routes with HTTP authentication.

To do so on Debian, install apache2-utils then create a file containing the wanted credentials:

htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/argos.passwd argos_admin

You can then use this file to protect the front-end’s routes:
