Guide: running webviewer behind Nginx with basic auth

[fmoessbauer]

Hi,

I managed to run the webviewer behind a nginx reverse proxy with basic auth to expose it via the internet.
I'm wondering if this snippet could be included somewhere in the documentation:

server {
  # [...]
  auth_basic           "Login required";
  auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.meshcore-bot.htpasswd;

  location / {
    # local webviewer instance
    proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;
    proxy_buffering off;
    include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
  }
  # websocket path
  location /socket.io/ {
      if ($http_connection !~* "upgrade") {
          return 403;
      }
      if ($http_upgrade !~* "websocket") {
          return 403;
      }
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
      include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;

      proxy_http_version 1.1;
      proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
      proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
      proxy_read_timeout 86400;
  }
}

proxy_params

proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

I'm happy to send a PR. Just tell me where to add it, or feel free to add by yourself.
