First install the necessary package:
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
To create a user/password pair run:
htpasswd -Bn <user>
Enter the password and then confirm it.
If you're using htpasswd to create user/password pairs with Traefik then you have to excape the dollar signs with an extra dollar sign. This can be accomplished easily through the following command:
echo $(htpasswd -Bn <user>) | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g
