rq-dashboard on Heroku

Question

I'm trying to get rq-dashboard to work on my Redis server created through Heroku. I added it to my Flask app using

from flask import Flask
import rq_dashboard

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(rq_dashboard.default_settings)
app.register_blueprint(rq_dashboard.blueprint, url_prefix="/rq")

But upon accessing the /rq URL I'm getting

Error 1 connecting to ec2-52-206-160-123.compute-1.amazonaws.com:19229. [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1091).

Any recommendations on what to do?

Answer 1

You can just pass ?ssl_cert_reqs=none at the end of your connection string, and it will bypass SSL cert verification.

For example, get your redis connection string by doing a:

heroku config -a your_app_name|grep redis

You get something like: REDIS_URL rediss://:[email protected]:yyyy

You can use that connection string with rq-dashboard, now add ?ssl_cert_reqs=none to the end, and it'll work.

rq-dashboard -u rediss://.....:yyyy?ssl_cert_reqs=none
