Frigate auth (basic HTTP authentication maybe?)

[geerlingguy]

It looks like Frigate intentionally doesn't provide any authentication method (see: blakeblackshear/frigate#1074).

Probably the simplest implementation would be to add either traefik or nginx as a tiny reverse-proxy in front of frigate in the docker-compose.yml with a basic user:pass pair, and then have port 80 exposed there, punching through to port 5000 on frigate.

The frigate instance could expose port 5000 only to the traefik/nginx container, then.

Haven't looked into Home Assistant support for this—hopefully whatever connector there is, it supports HTTP basic auth.

For traefik, see: blakeblackshear/frigate#1726 (comment)

And the official docs mention Apache2/Nginx configs (but don't suggest how to implement them through Docker/Compose easily.
