Jupyterlab behind nginx proxy with basic authentication fails

JupyterLab
1

I’m using nginx to act as proxy for my jupyterhub with jupyterlab notebooks. However, when I enable basic authentication to restrict access to the server, my jupyterlab does not load properly. To cut short, access to the static files gives a 401 error in the web console. Disabling basic authentication gives me a working julpyterlab environment. If anyone can help?

Here’s my nginx config

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default  upgrade;
 }

server {
     listen 80;
     server_name <obfuscated>;

      include snippets/ssl.conf;
      include snippets/letsencrypt.conf;
      return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name <obfuscated>;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/privkey.pem;
    ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/chain.pem;
    include snippets/ssl.conf;
    include snippets/letsencrypt.conf;
    gzip on;
    gzip_types text/plain text/css text/js text/xml text/javascript application/javascript
