Basic Auth API

This is an API application that uses HTTP Basic Authentication (RFC7617) to authenticate and/or reject calls against itself.

The API does support exactly one call: <HOST>/swapi/people, which calls the Star Wars API and returns the first ten people in the result.

Configuration

To configure the API, you can use the following environment variables:

• PORT: The port on which the API server listens for connections (Default 3030).
• AUTH_USERNAME: The username for Basic Authentication (Default user).
• AUTH_PASSWORD: The password for Basic Authentication (Default pass).

Deployment

To use the Basic Auth API, you may:

• Clone the repo and build the Docker image by yourself.
• Copy paste the parts that you need from the docker-compose file.
• Use the published Docker image from github in your docker compose file, as shown in the example.
