How would you add authentication to sandman2?
I only want to allow one particular user with a token or huge password to be able to update or access the database.

I am still looking into getting a functioning PR for basic http auth but in the meantime I have nginx running a proxy pass with htpasswd authentication
#added for sandman2ctl rest api location /api/ { proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/; auth_basic "Restricted Content"; auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/api.htpasswd; }
run sandman sandman2ctl -p 3000 <dbconnstring>

from these directions
