Hi,

I think would be a good option to add a password protection to use the search engineer. I would like to use Whoogle in a VPS and only allow to use Whoogle to the people that knows the password.

Thanks

You can do this already (on the docker at least) by specifying WHOOGLE_USER and WHOOGLE_PASS environmental variables. On first page load it'll do basic auth.

@FoxxMD is correct, you can do this with Docker using the environment variables mentioned, or with pip/python using the --userpass <username:password> argument.

I tried the --userpass username:password, but it doesn't ask me for a single password
