💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the MALT web GUI that malt-webview(1) provides? It’s secured by a local password, and that password is configured by the malt-passwd command. It gets stored in the ~/.malt/passwd file. And yes — it will be called automatically the first time you call malt-webview. No cap ✨

malt-passwd is essentially a wrapper that calls a script provided by the nodeJS module htpasswd, so it also supports all the options that module provides. For the full tea, you can refer to the documentation of this module right here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/htpasswd 🦋

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

• MALT_NODEJS — can be setup to tell which nodeJS to use if the script cannot find it by itself. iykyk 💅
