# Template for Encrypted Single Page Website

This template repository makes it easy to create a password protected page that is hosted on Github pages.
This can be useful for information or events that should not be available to everyone, e.g. for your birthday, wedding or a corporate event.

To check the [demo](https://a-nau.github.io/password-protected-website-template) use the password `test`.

## Usage

- [Create a repository from a template](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template) by clicking the `use this template` button
- Select a repository name (your URL will be `{GITHUB-ACCOUNT-NAME}.github.io/{REPOSITORY-NAME}`)
- Choose the repository to be **private**, if you don't want people to be able to access the contents without the password
- [Create a Github secret](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/encrypted-secrets#creating-encrypted-secrets-for-a-repository) named `DECRYPTION_PASSPHRASE` and set the `value` to your desired password (note that the CI pipeline will fail on the first attempt due to the missing password)
- [Set the publishing source](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/configuring-a-publishing-source-for-your-github-pages-site#choosing-a-publishing-source) to the `main` branch in order to activate hosting with Github Pages

To customize the website:

- You can customize the login page

  - adjust the [encrypt_with_assets.yml](.github/workflows/encrypt_with_assets.yml), i.e. the "Encrypt index" step to set the title, instructions and button name

    ```yaml
    - name: Encrypt index
      run: >
        staticrypt index.html -p ${{ secrets.DECRYPTION_PASSPHRASE }} --short
        --template "password_template.html"
        --template-title "Login"
        --template-instructions "This is a test website, use the password 'test' to enter."
        --template-button "Open Page"
        --template-color-primary "#113e9f"
        --template-color-secondary "#e4e4e4"
    ```

  - For details and to change the full layout, see [StatiCrypt](https://github.com/robinmoisson/staticrypt)

- Edit the `main.html` which will be shown to visitors after encryption (the encrypted version, that is hosted is `index.html`)
  - Assets can be used as usual and will not be encrypted

### Encrypted Assets

By default encryption of assets is enabled, since the workflow [`encrypt_with_assets.yml`](.github/workflows/encrypt_with_assets.yml) is active.
Note, this only replaces all directly linked images, CSS and JavaScript file in the HTML document with an in-place base64 representation.
Thus, your relative links in files will probably not work anymore, since their location changed.

If you do not want to encrypt assets 
- remove the asset folder from the `exclude`s of the [`_config.yml`](_config.yml),
- [`encrypt_with_assets.yml`](.github/workflows/encrypt_with_assets.yml) to `encrypt_with_assets._yml`, and 
- rename [`encrypt_without_assets._yml`](.github/workflows/encrypt_without_assets.yml) to `encrypt_with_assets.yml` 


### Local Usage

If you don't want to have any of your data (even) in a private repository you can also convert it locally and only upload the `index.html` afterwards.
To do this, follow these steps:

- Build the image
  ```
  docker build -t ppw .
  ```
- Run the encryption
  ```
  docker run -it --rm --name ppw -e PASSWORD=test --mount type=bind,source=${PWD},target=/code ppw
  ```
- Ignore changes to `main.html`
  ```
  git update-index --skip-worktree main.html
  ```
  Optionally the same is needed for your assets.
