[jira] [Created] (NIFI-6080) Create documentation around deploying
NiFi behind a proxy
Andy LoPresto created NIFI-6080:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Create documentation around deploying NiFi behind a proxy
Key: NIFI-6080
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6080
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation & Website
Affects Versions: 1.9.0
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
Assignee: Andrew Lim
Drew and I discussed creating a helpful document which outlines the steps behind the common task of deploying NiFi in an environment where user/API access is restricted to proxy access. This document would include (generic) steps for deploying to widely-used proxies like httpd and nginx. Special attention would be paid to configuring a secured instance, which would include notes like:
* Overriding the {{Origin}} header to allow for {{POST}} requests to the template endpoint originating from a different host - [https://lists.apache.org/api/atom.lua?mid=b8ee4e9699f9c8b55a2b9e54b7e551a34fcbae070c7d625fdfbc0870@%3Cusers.nifi.apache.org%3E|Invalid CORS request error on NiFi v1.8.0 and 1.9.0 behind nginx]
* Configuring the proxy host accepted lists [https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#proxy_configuration|Admin Guide - Proxy Configuration]
This document could also address (or link to another addressing) reverse proxy configuration allowing site-to-site connectivity. There is a [https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#site-to-site-and-reverse-proxy-examples|section in the Admin Guide] addressing this already.
I'd like to see us build out more _prescriptive_ than _descriptive_ documentation to help guide people through common tasks. Our current documentation is an excellent and exhaustive reference for people who know what they're looking for, but can be daunting to new users or users trying to perform a task for the first time.
