How to setup a password for mailcatcher

Question

I have the mailcatcher installed on a server and I would like to protect it with a password. At the moment, I am accessing it directly, and would like to have the auth_basic 'RESTRICTED ACCESS';

Any idea where can I enable this?

Answer 1

does not seem possible in MailCatcher. You may have to consider using a solution on top to protect your MailCatcher instance.

Answer 2

I think the best thing might be to just run Nginx in front to proxy it, or possibly some other lightweight web-server.

For nginx, you could have something simple like this:

location /email {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888; # path to your mailcatcher
}
