Create a secret in the cluster

$ docker secret create --label openfaas openfaas_htpasswd openfaas.htpasswd

You can now see the secret created:

$ docker secret ls

Build an Nginx container

Build gwnginx from contrib directory.

$ docker build -t gwnginx .

Launch nginx

Deploy Nginx

$ docker service rm gwnginx ; \
 docker service create --network=func_functions \

   --publish 8080:8080 --name gwnginx gwnginx 

Connect to the UI

You can now connect to the UI on port 8080. If you use a web-browser you will be prompted for a password.

API/CLI

The API will require Basic Auth but can stil be used with curl. We have work under testing to support basic auth inside the faas-cli natively.
