progrium/consul-access repository overview

⁠consul-access

Lightweight password protection to Consul HTTP using Nginx.

⁠Using consul-access

Simply link against a running Consul container using the alias consul and provide a username and password with the HTPASSWD environment variable:

$ docker pull progrium/consul-access
$ docker run -d \
	--link consul:consul \
	--env "HTPASSWD=<username> <password>" \
	--publish 80:80
	progrium/consul-access

If you're running Consul in --net=host mode, you can just set the IP manually with --add-host:

$ docker run -d \
	--add-host consul:<consul ip> \
	--env "HTPASSWD=<username> <password>" \
	--publish 80:80
	progrium/consul-access

⁠Security

Since HTTP Basic authentication⁠ is used, you should only access this behind SSL otherwise your password is transmitted unencrypted.
