Auth for WatchYourLAN and other apps

I've created several Open Source self-hosted apps and including Auth option in every one of them makes them unnecessary overcomplicated. Also, harder to release updates.
So, I decided to make a separate Auth app ForAuth. For now, it is simple session-cookie auth for single user, but I have plans to enhance it.
Example 1:
In case of usual apps like WatchYourPorts it is enough to protect the app from unauthorized access:docker-compose-auth.yml
Example 2:
WatchYourLAN is a bit more complicated. It needs host network mode to work. So, WYL port will be exposed in this setup and needs to be protected with firewall.docker-compose-auth.yml
P.S.
Of course, I'm aware of SSO tools like Authelia and Authentik. They should work fine with my apps. ForAuth is just much simpler to configure and maintain.
