htpasswd.docker.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Small script that will use htpasswd to hash a password
# This is useful for Traefik, especially if you don't want to install apache2-utils on your system

# It can be run using docker:
# docker container run -ti --rm -v $PWD:/data -w /data ubuntu:bionic bash -c "bash htpasswd.sh"

# hashed password will be stored in the file log.timestamp to ensure unique name
timestamp=$(date +%s)

fname="log.${timestamp}"

apt-get update
apt-get install -y apache2-utils

#echo $(htpasswd -nb testuser password) | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g >> log

echo ""
echo "Please enter a username, then we'll ask for a password which will be hashed"
read username
htpasswd -n ${username} >> ${fname}

echo "username and hashed password stored in file ${fname}"
