How can I use an .htaccess file in Nginx?

July 15, 2023 by Tarik

Nginx doesn’t support .htaccess (see here: “You can’t do this. You shouldn’t. If you need .htaccess, you’re probably doing it wrong.”).

You’ve two choices (as I know):

import your .htaccess to nginx.conf (maybe the htaccess to nginx converter helps you)
use authd-htpasswd (I didn’t try it)
