How to secure RedisInsights on a docker container

Question

I have redis running in a docker container with docker-compose and I found this article that shows how to run redisinsights from the same docker host.

Run Redis Insights in Docker Compose

I can expose port 8001 to 443 publicly to something like https://redisinsights.mysite.com. Is there a straight forward way I can add a password that must be entered before redisinsights open? If I just set it up, anyone who goes to that URL will see my data which would be bad.

Here is the insecure docker-compose from that post:

redisinsights:
  image: redislabs/redisinsight:latest
  restart: always
  ports:
    - '8001:8001'
  volumes:
    - ./data/redisinsight:/db

Answer 1

I don't think that's possible. I recommend to you remove redisinsight as a docker service and use a local GUI for seeing the data. You can use DataGrip or the redisinsight GUI which looks pretty nice.

If you are using Docker already, why don't you take advantage of kubernetes as well? :D

https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/examples/auth/basic/ You can use k8s to deploy your image, wrap it with a secured ingress like so.
