Additional static routes and basic auth

[melavas]

Hi there!

I'm new to Solid/Solid start but I've been always keeping an eye to it, I really like it ❤️ .

I'm considering migrating an existing project to SolidStart so I'm doing a bit of my "due diligence". It seems to provide everything I need but there are two things that I haven't been able to figure out, and these are critical things:

1. Serve additional assets

This application allows for files to be uploaded to a custom directory in the server (outside of the public directory, the actual directory is passed as an env var at startup, such as UPLOADS_DIR=/data/uploads).

I need to be able to serve (from this same app, not from an nginx proxy in front, etc...) these files, let's say, at /uploads/... or similar. I thought I would be able to add a custom vinxi router as shown here, but it seems that configuration is not exposed on SolidStart's own configuration.

How could I do this?

2. Basic auth

This application is for internal users, and needs to support HTTP Basic Auth and protect the whole application (except for the /uploads path, and a healthcheck path) .

So far the current application has an express middleware that handles this very nicely. What's the recommended way to do this in SolidStart?

Thanks for your help!
