Feature: Login screen

[grimmotron]

Login screen:
Much like the WebUI in qBitTorrent, UpSnap, ConvertX etc.

For remote work:
Running multiple dockers accessible through my own subdomains for remote work, having a Login screen for this would be really handy! As it is now, I wouldn't dare open any ports.

Very short description, but I hope I get the point across. I understand if this is not a wanted or needed feature. But it would be nice!

Hi @grimmotron,

Thank you for this suggestion! A login screen makes a lot of sense for server use cases. To maintain the seamless experience for local users, I’d consider providing this as a separate image for remote setups.

For a first version, we could implement a simple solution using env vars. Would that work for you?

Thanks for your feedback!

You could just enable or disable it with a variable during boot maybe? In a separate config file. No need for separate images.

I am running this in Docker on an unraid server. So a config file in the appdata folder would be nice.

Hi @grimmotron, we'll likely manage this within the project launcher that we're currently working on, and indeed will not add an image for it. Although we're still booked by planned activities, I'll try to find some resources to get this moving as well.

That sounds awesome! No hurry on this in my case, but it's a nice feature for everyone. Will definitely make this app more popular.
You're doing great work guys!
