Quick Start

To use the Consul-tree you need PHP and a web server.

• Clone the repo into your web directory.
• Configure the config/config.json as mentioned here.
• Configure the config/auth.php as mentioned here.
• Access the consul-tree e.g. http://yourserver/consuldirectory
• To create a folder or a key, Right click inside the tree where you want the folder/key to be created. and then click on the create.

Consul Configuration config/config.json

• Consul-tree on a physical host.
  • Inside this repo you can find the config/config.json which contains the configurations that need to be configured before accessing the Consult-tree, an example of the config.json file is as below.
• Consul-tree on Docker.
  • Create a directory and inside it create config.json and auth.php files.
  • Copy and paste the configuration file contents from below.

[
  {
    "url": "http://192.168.220.145:8500/v1/kv/",
    "title": "My-Consul 1"
  },{
    "url": "http://192.168.220.146:8500/v1/kv/",
    "title": "My-Consul 2"
  }
]

From version 6.x and UP the Consul-Tree supports browsing multiple consuls from one UI therefore you can add as many consul (urls, titles) as you would like to connect to as an array / json

• Modify the url value to match your consul url with it's ipaddress:port and the kv store section.
• Modify the title value with your custom title to your Consul-Tree.

ACL Configuration config/auth.php

<?php
$mainTitle = "Consul-Tree";
$consulToken = "AbraKadabra";
$list = [
    [
        "user" => "qa",
        "pass" => "qa",
        "auto" => false,
        "rights" => "read"
    ], [
        "user" => "dev",
        "pass" => "dev",
        "auto" => true,
        "rights" => "write"
    ], [
        "user" => "admin",
        "pass" => "admin",
        "auto" => true,
        "rights" => "full"
    ]
];

• Main Title: Login screen title.
• Rights: rights : string
  • read = read only.
  • write = read and write.
  • full = read, write and delete.
• Auto login: auto : boolean
  • If the auto property for the user is set to true, then the user will log in automatically.
  • if multiple users had auto properties set to true, then the first user will be selected as auto-login user.

Consul-tree on Docker

Check my docker repo for a ready-made container at https://hub.docker.com/r/vagharsh/consul-tree/.

On the Docker host that you want to run the Consul-tree container from.

• Create a directory and inside it create config.json and auth.php files.

• Configure the config.json as mentioned here.

• Configure the auth.php as mentioned here.

• To deploy consul-tree under a virtual-directory e.g. http://yourserver/consuldirectory

  • add --env "BASE_URI=consul-dev" if you are planning to access it via http://test.domain.com/consul-dev/

  •     docker run -d -v /opt/consul-tree/config:/var/www/html/config \
                  -p 8123:80 \
                  --restart always \
                  --name consul-tree \
                  --env "BASE_URI=consuldirectory" \
                  vagharsh/consul-tree:7.5.3
    

• There are 2 ways to provide the config file.

  • Provide the configs file via HTTP url. (both files [auth.php, config.json] should be provided)

    docker run -d -e CONFIG=http://test.abc.com/config.json \
                  -e AUTH=http://test.abc.com/auth.php \
                  -p 8123:80 \
                  --restart always \
                  --name consul-tree \ 
                  vagharsh/consul-tree:7.5.3-web                    
    

  Note: Make sure that the files are not shared publicly, and that the php file is not hosted on a php server.

  • Provide the config file via Mounting.
    • Mounting the config folder.

    docker run -d -v /opt/consul-tree/config:/var/www/html/config \
                  -p 8123:80 \
                  --restart always \
                  --name consul-tree \
                  vagharsh/consul-tree:7.5.3
    

    • Mounting the config files separately.

    docker run -d -v /opt/consul-tree/config/config.json:/var/www/html/config/config.json \
                  -v /opt/consul-tree/config/auth.php:/var/www/html/config/auth.php \
                  -p 8123:80 \
                  --restart always \
                  --name consul-tree \
                  vagharsh/consul-tree:7.5.3
