nginx-sidecar-basic-auth

This is a Docker image that provides an nginx proxy server enforcing HTTP basic authentication on every request (exception OPTIONS). It is suitable for operation within OpenShift, e.g. as a sidecar container.

Configuration

Configuration is provided using environment variables:

Environment Description Default Value
PORT Port to listen on 8087
FORWARD_HOST Hostname of the backend server to proxy to localhost
FORWARD_PORT Port of the backend server to proxy to 8080
BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME Username to use for authentication admin
BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD Password to use for authentication admin
PROXY_READ_TIMEOUT Defines a timeout for reading a response from the proxied server 60s
PROXY_SEND_TIMEOUT Sets a timeout for transmitting a request to the proxied server 60s
CLIENT_MAX_BODY_SIZE Sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body 1m
PROXY_REQUEST_BUFFERING Enables or disables buffering of a client request body on
PROXY_BUFFERING Enables or disables buffering of responses from the proxied server on
WEBSOCKET_PATH Activates websocket handling on the given path (none)
FORWARD_WEBSOCKET_PATH If the remote path differs from WEBSOCKET_PATH, use this (none)

Usage

Docker

Start the container and link it with your backend (alternatively, use Docker networks):

docker run -d --name nginx-basic-auth -p 8087:8087 \
  --link backend:backend \
  -e FORWARD_HOST=backend \
  -e FORWARD_PORT=3000 \
  xscys/nginx-sidecar-basic-auth

OpenShift Sidecar Usage

Add the sidecar container next to your application container in your deployment configuration:

- image: xscys/nginx-sidecar-basic-auth
  imagePullPolicy: Always
  name: auth-proxy
  ports:
    - containerPort: 8087
      protocol: TCP
  env:
    - name: FORWARD_PORT
      value: ${BACKEND_CONTAINER_PORT}
