Nginx protect directory with password, except for specific ip's

  • 772

In my Nginx setup I would like to password protect some website, except when I access it from my ip at home. How do I set this up?

Also, except for getting access to my home pc, is this safe?

nginx password-protected

    After long searching I found it myself.

    When satisfy_any is put on "Directive solves access with at least one successful checking, executed by modules HttpAccessModule or HttpAuthBasicModule" 

      location / {
    satisfy any;
    allow  10.1.1.10;
    deny   all;
    auth_basic            "closed site";
    auth_basic_user_file  /data/www_data/htpasswd;
  }

    (satisfy any is the new syntax, satisfy_any threw a warning. The documentation I can't find however)
