What I did was put my wiki behind a nginx LB with this config. This says
READ requests (GET, HEAD) are permitted by anyone, but POST and other
requests require user authentication.
server {
listen 80;
access_log /var/log/nginx/tiddlywiki.access.log combined;
location / {
root /opt/html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
location /wiki/ {
limit_except GET HEAD {
auth_basic 'Restricted';
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/auth/tiddlywiki;
}
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
