Managing HTTP Basic Authentification

To secure some site areas with a simple login-password pair:

• think up a username (for example, username)
• generate a password: openssl rand -base64 16 (for example, password)
• generate a passfile: htpasswd -c .htpasswd username
• verify the password: htpasswd -v .htpasswd username
• add the passfile to the image in Dokerfile: ADD .htpasswd /etc/nginx/.htpasswd
• add auth_basic "Site Area Name" to the server section in nginx.conf
• add auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd; to the server section in nginx.conf
