Secure Graphite Dashboard

[bendodd]

It would be good to be able to secure the Graphite Dashboard, even if only HTTPAuth, and ideally have the password setable as a Docker env var.

Thoughts? Approach?

We run this container in concert to grafana, which has several auth options built in, never mind all the excellent graphing options :) Just don't expose the graphite port outside the host and link the containers. Might be easier for you rather than trying to secure graphite?

Thanks @DarrellMozingo Yes, we use Grafana too, albiet on a separate VM [on AWS], although we often find it useful to go back to Graphite to manually interrogate the data and do very quick PoC graphs

Yea, same thing here really - we leave graphite on :8080 to do quick navigation. Thankfully we don't have to worry about securing it like yours (it's an internal network)!
