Sleet with Apache2 (on a classic Linux server) with authentication?

Dear @emgarten , I just found this awesome project and it seems to be exactly what we need. We want to host a small number of NuGet packages on a plain old classic Linux server (with Apache2).
Now my question is about authentication. I found in #144 (comment) that supposedly the NuGet clients would support some basic http authentication. Did I understand this correctly? And how would this be set up? Does it require the help of sleet? Or does a plain "classic" Basic HTTP authentication (like https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_auth_basic.html in Apache) work with NuGet clients?
I can see that this question is a bit off-topic, since it is more centered around using sleet. But it may be very helpful for future users to have this documented, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
.htaccess with apache should work for basic auth.
I haven't tested NuGet against a feed using apache before so let me know if you get it set up and can try it.
Ok that sounds very promising! I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes...
