Disabling terminal access when running in Docker

[evanchaney]

Current Situation

When the Homebridge config. UI is installed and running as part of a Homebridge Docker container how can the “Terminal” section of the UI be disabled?

I see in “Turn off Terminal in browser” that there is a HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI_TERMINAL environment variable. Adding an ENV HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI_TERMINAL=0 line to the Dockerfile doesn’t seem to work, though.

It looks like maybe the UI is hardcoded to always enable the terminal when running in a Docker container (config source). Is that right?

Is there any way to disable terminal access through the Web UI when running under Docker?

Hi @evanchaney

Yes at the moment it is hard coded for docker to be enabled, with no way of overriding this.

I’m not sure if there is a real reason for this.

I can publish a beta of the UI to try where it looks for this env variable and disable the terminal if it is present and set to 0.

But i won’t be able to test it myself - and i’m
not sure whether it will lead to any unexpected results.

But i’m definitely happy to publish a beta if you want to try it
