Self-Hosted dashboard authentication

[mustafamagdy]

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the security of the dashboard UI when self-hosting:

• Does Inngest provide built-in authentication mechanisms for the dashboard, or should we implement our own authentication layer? and if yes, how?
• Are there any specific configurations or middleware you suggest to restrict access to authorized users only?

I want to ensure that the dashboard is secure and accessible only to authorized personnel within our organization.

Any guidance or documentation you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would suggest you to add a load balancer like nginx with basic authentication. But this will causes issues with inngest in your workflow calling your inngest server, so add another domain with api authentication.

Then use interceptors to add Authorization headers.

Currently, self-hosted Inngest doesn't provide auth. The best path forward for now is @sathishkannan162's suggestion.

If we did add support for auth, what type of setup would you like to see? We could potentially add Github or Google auth as an option, but it would take some time. We'd also be open to contributions in our inngest repo if you're interested.
