Hi,
I’m running LibreTranslate self-hosted with a docker image, and I would like to password-protect it.
Is this option on the roadmap of future built-in features?
What are my options beyond .htaccess protection?
Thanks.

You could require an API key for access.

Yes you can use api key. If you want an authentification page before accessing libretranslate its out of scope of the libretranslate project.

If you want a password you could also configure a reverse proxy like nginx to add basic auth prior to forwarding requests to LibreTranslate. Adding Basic Authentication with Nginx as a reverse proxy | by Laurent Bel | Pernod Ricard Tech | Medium

I usually put my publicly accessible tools behind traefik as a reverse proxy and use authentik for authentication.
Maybe add an API key for API translations to avoid abuse and leave the web access without authentication?
