We've been running hashi-ui quite a lot. As it's currently possible to, besides viewing job statistics, also edit and manage jobs, the need started to arise to put it behind some form of authentication. Here's where it becomes a bit more challenging. If you, like we do, run hashi-ui on Nomad itself the service is allocated a dynamic port on a "random" worker. Your average proxy server can be configured using something like consul-template but what if you also want to run your proxy scheduled in a container? You'd like to do backend lookups from Consul.
Nginx Plus (commercial) supports a feature to lookup SRV records in an upstream block but hey, not everyone wants to buy a commercial
license just for this feature. After some searching I came across this Github project.
A project that utilizes the Nginx Lua module to do SRV record lookups. I've adjusted the script to remove the service name derived from
alias logic. Instead you can configure a variable in the nginx config service which should be set to the FQDN as served by Consul.
The docker container is compiled with the ldap and lua module along with LuaJIT 2.0.
In the example Nomad job you'll find that a Consul tag has been configured starting with urlprefix-. This is an identifier tag for
Fabio If you haven't heard of Fabio before please check it out. It's an awesome piece of software which
dynamically creates routes based on Consul services.
NOTES:
- There's no caching mechanism in the Lua script, if you expect high number of requests you might want to setup dnsmasq with caching or integrate lua-lrucache
