Hi Guys, have you ever encountered an exploit could access your Airbyte Dashboard (docker compose deployment) on specific port without authentication? How do you strengthenin airbyte in that case? Airbyte v0.40.16

Yes, securing your Airbyte instance is crucial to prevent unauthorized access. Here are some methods you can use to secure your Airbyte instance: 1. Deploy Airbyte in a private network or use a firewall: This will allow you to filter which IP addresses are allowed to access your host. 2. Deploy Airbyte behind a reverse proxy: You can handle the access control and SSL encryption on the reverse proxy side. Here's an example of an nginx reverse proxy config:
Copy code
bash server {    listen 443 ssl;    server_name airbyte.<your-domain>.com;    client_max_body_size 200M; # required for Airbyte API    ssl_certificate <path-to-your-cert>.crt.pem;     ssl_certificate_key <path-to-your-key>.key.pem;        location / {    proxy_pass <http://127.0.0.1:8000;>    proxy_set_header Cookie $http_cookie; # if you use Airbytes basic auth    proxy_read_timeout 3600; # set a number in seconds suitable for you    }   }
3. Change the default username and password: You can do this in your environment's
.env
file:
Copy code
bash  # Proxy Configuration    # Set to empty values, e.g. "" to disable basic auth    BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=your_new_username_here    BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=your_new_password_here
Please note that as of version 0.40.16, Airbyte has support for basic user/password authentication. However, the security and reliability of Airbyte Open Source depend on your development and production setups.
