Protect interface with username/password about dsmr-reader-docker HOT 5 CLOSED

If you run dsmr-reader in a docker container you can change the nginx configuration within the container using the docker console. You can create the htpasswd file, uncomment the things mentioned in the nginx dsmr-webserver config and restart the dsmr container. This will probably break when updating the docker container, but fine for a temporary workaround :)

Don't forget to update the datalogger to add the password if you make use of the API! I already had my own python script to get data from the smart-meter so adding the auth data to the request was very easy. I haven't looked into whether the datalogger supports the auth out-of-the-box. But even then, it's easy to modify the datalogger python code, in the file 'dsmr-reader/dsmr_datalogger/scripts/dsmr_datalogger_api_client.py' update the following code (I've added the auth line):

response = requests.post(
        api_url,
        auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),
        headers={'X-AUTHKEY': api_key},
        data={'telegram': telegram},
)

Sure, should be easy. I`ll look into it.

I'm curious if you have already looked into this?

Thanks for your suggestion!
I am using Traefik and added basic auth to the rule file:

    [frontends.dsmr.auth.basic]
      removeHeader = true
      users = [
        "XX"
      ]

The problem is that the creator of dsmr reader isn't that familiar with Docker. Don't get me wrong, he did a great job creating this application, but it's a pain in the ass to use with Docker. Currently I`m looking into his code to see if I can create a pull request to make it more easy to use with Docker.
