Dataedo on Docker with HTTPS

This tutorial is a step-by-step guide to upgrade already runnnig Dataedo Portal on Docker to run over HTTPS. If you haven't installed Docker with Dataedo Portal running yet, please refer to this article.

Requirements:

• Dataedo Portal runnning on Docker with latest image.
• .pem certificate and private key for your website (if you don't have it you can create it for free with Certbot)

Setup process:

In your dataedo folder create the file nginx.conf and place the following in it (replace sampledomain.com with your domain name):

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    '' close;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name sampledomain.com;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name sampledomain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/sampledomain.com/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/sampledomain.com/privkey.pem;

    ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;

    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" always;
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff always;

    location / {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index index.html index.htm;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404;
    }

    location = /api/api/auth/assertion-consumer {
        proxy_method POST;
        proxy_pass http://backend:44345/api/auth/assertion-consumer$is_args$args;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

    location /api/ {
        rewrite ^/api/(.*) /api/$1 break;
        proxy_pass http://backend:44345;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }

    location /notificationhub {
        proxy_pass http://backend:44345/notificationhub;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
     location /aidescriptionshub {
        proxy_pass http://backend:44345/aidescriptionshub;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

Edit docker-compose.yml and update the frontend service to look like the following (replace sampledomain.com with your domain name):

  frontend:
    image: dataedo/web_ui:stable
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    networks:
      - overlay
    depends_on:
      - backend
    env_file:
      - ./.env
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
      - /etc/letsencrypt/live/sampledomain.com:/etc/letsencrypt/live/sampledomain.com
      - /etc/letsencrypt/archive/sampledomain.com:/etc/letsencrypt/archive/sampledomain.com

Update Docker Compose with:

docker compose up -d

All done, your Dataedo instance should be available via HTTPS now.
