brickinc/kong-dashboard repository overview

Kong admin dashboard modified to use securely with Rancher. Based off pgbi/kong-dashboard

1. Run Kong securely by not exposing port 8001

docker run -d --name kong \
    --link cassandra:cassandra \
    -p 8000:8000 \
    -p 8443:8443 \
    -p 7946:7946 \
    -p 7946:7946/udp \
    mashape/kong

1. Created environment variable called KONG_URL and set it to http://(10.x.x.x/rancher_ip_or_host):8001

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -env KONG_URL=http://(10.x.x.x/rancher_ip_or_host):8001 brickinc/kong-dashboard

All of examples above can be done via Rancher UI.

If you are not running rancher, you can firewall port 8001 from external IPs. Then setup basic_auth plugin on port http://kong_api:8000/kong. See documentation here: https://github.com/PGBI/kong-dashboard/issues/22⁠
