mistio credentials

[jpstaub]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement authentication for open mistio. However, there doesn't appear to be a text editor included in the Docker image. I would like to add nano or vim but mistio doesn't have permissions to do so within the Docker container. What are mistio's credentials?

Regards, Jake

Hi, let me update the docker image to contain sudo/vim/nano and I'll let you know once this is done

Hello,

I'm still interested in mistio credentials in order to implement mistio authentication. At this point, I'm after installation of Apache2-utils to implement basic authentication in accordance with jwilder/nginx-proxy.

I really appreciate mistio-docker but it's a drag not having a rudimentary ability to make necessary changes.

Regards, Jake

Finally cracked the nut on jwilder reverse proxy basic authentication.

mist.io does not include an authentication service. However, jwilder nginx-proxy includes basic authentication support.

jwilder makes use of htpasswd. Creating a password file requires apache2-utils.

Sample htpasswd code: ~$ htpasswd -b ~/htpasswd/virtualHost user password

Note: It may be necessary to create ~/htpasswd/virtualHost manually in order to use htpasswd to create users and passwords.

Sample Docker code (includes code for letsencrypt):

#nginx-proxy - letsencrypt + authentication

~$ docker run -d \
--name nginx-proxy_cryptAccess \
-p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
-v /etc/nginx/certs:/etc/nginx/certs:ro \
-v /etc/nginx/vhost.d \
-v /usr/share/nginx/html \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro \
-v ~/htpasswd/virtualHost:/etc/nginx/htpasswd/virtualHost:ro \
--restart unless-stopped \
jwilder/nginx-proxy
