SiteLock - prevent access to your site

Sometimes you don't want anybody to access your site. Use cases include:

• Site is under development
• Site is on a staging/testing server
• Site is an internal tool

This package adds a global web middleware that protects all routes until it's unlocked.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require adaptivemedia/laravel-site-lock

You MUST publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Adaptivemedia\SiteLock\SiteLockServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the content of the config file:

<?php

return [

    /*
     * This is the master switch to enable site lock.
     */
    'enabled' => env('SITE_LOCK_ENABLED', true),

    /*
     * Environments that the site lock should be applied to.
     */
    'environments' => ['staging', 'development'],

    /*
     * The following IP's will automatically gain access to the
     * app without having to visit the `access-url` url.
     */
    'allowed-ips' => [],

    /*
     * List of urls that are whitelisted.
     *
     * Examples:
     * /a-webhook-url
     * a-webhook-url
     * api/a-webhook-url
     * api/a-webhook-*
     */
    'whitelisted-urls' => [],
    
    /*
     * The url that will unlock the site.
     */
    'access-url' => '/change-this-url-to-your-own',

    /*
     * After having gained access, visitors will be redirected to this url.
     */
    'redirect-url'  => '/',

    /*
     * The session key that holds the site lock.
     */
    'session-key'   => 'site-lock',

    /*
     * Error message displayed for users without access.
     */
    'error-message' => 'Access denied',

    /*
     * HTTP response for users without access.
     */
    'error-http-response' => 401,
];

Usage

Add the middleware to the $middlewareGroups array in App\Http\Kernel.php:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        ...
        \Adaptivemedia\SiteLock\SiteLock::class,
        ...
    ]
]

When added, all routes are locked if the request is on a matching environment. You can also assign this middleware to specific routes by adding an alias to the $routeMiddleware variable and then attaching that alias to a route.

Gain access via url

You can now gain access your site by visiting the configured url.

Gain access via IP

You can add allowed IP addresses in the allowed-ips config variable. You can either use a comma separated string:

 'allowed-ips' => '127.0.0.1,192.168.0.1'

or use an array:

'allowed-ips' => [
    '127.0.0.1',
    '192.168.0.1'
]

To change allowed IPs without changing code, you can use your own env-variable, eg. SITE_LOCK_ALLOWED_IPS:

'allowed-ips' => env('SITE_LOCK_ALLOWED_IPS')

And set them in your .env:

SITE_LOCK_ALLOWED_IPS="127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1"

Whitelist urls

You can whitelist individual urls so they are excluded from the middleware. A common use case could be a hook url that a third party service is calling in your app.

'whitelisted-urls' => [
    '/webhook-callback-url',
],

Disable site lock

If you don't want to enable site lock, just set the env variable SITE_LOCK_ENABLED to false.
