HTAdmin is a simple htpasswd editor implemented in PHP with a nice frontend (based on bootstrap). It's intended to update and maintain users and password hashes in a .htpasswd file. The admin has to create a user, but every user can change his password by himself using a self service area. It is also possible to send a password reset mail. You can use the .htpasswd with nginx and Apache, in the example we use nginx.
It comes with a preconfigured docker-compose.yml, so you don't have to install a LAMP stack locally for testing but can use docker instead.
You find the application in app/htadmin and the area to secure for testing in app/test.
Since both the nginx and the php-fpm run as the www-data user, change the group for the app folder and everything within:
chgrp -R www-data app
PHP needs write permission for the user www-data.
Create a config.ini within app/htadmin/config from the included example file config.ini.example.
Install a recent docker and docker-compose and run:
docker-compose up -d
After the build of the PHP image and startup of the containers point your browser to:
Standard access: admin / admin, make sure to change that in your ...config/config.ini for other purposes than testing. You have to enter a hashed password, there is a tool for its generation included in the webapp:
http://localhost/htadmin/adminpwd.php
the .htaccess and .htpasswd files are configured for this folder:
