Ratel fails to authenticate caused by CORS error when calling /query

[jonas_levin]

I’m running DGraph locally through docker compose. I now want to access my local DGraph Server from The Ratel UI. I already tried Brave Browser which did not work but Firefox does connect to my local http endpoint It just fails to authenticate. Ratel just prompts me to input a userId and password. I tried the dfault credentials groot and password but it doesn’t work.

This is my docker-compose.yml file:

  dgraph:
    image: dgraph/standalone:latest
    container_name: dgraph
    networks:
      - basenet
    volumes:
      - ./docker-data/dgraph:/dgraph
    ports:
      - 5080:5080
      - 6080:6080
      - 8080:8080
      - 9080:9080
    restart: on-failure
    command: dgraph zero --my=zero:5080

networks:
  basenet:
    name: "sessions-network"

I tried inspecting the network request from Ratel to find out what causes the ui to fail and found out that I get a bunch of CORS related issues to the /query endpoint.
Is that intended our could that be the cause for the connection failure?

Are you using ACL? if not, you can ignore that one. Just let it empty and hit continue.

Ratel and Chrome issue

Be aware of these changes in your browser. Today Chrome blocks requests on HTTPS pages for services that are HTTP. This started in the first half of this year. Not all Chromium-based browsers have this security measure. To workaround this, you have to run both Ratel and the cluster with TLS enabled. Or use another browser that doesn’t have this limitation. This also affects the Tour. You can also run a Ratel image locally with no HTTP to connect your your NON-HTTPS Dgraph cluster. By the way,…

Thanks for your answer. I have decided to use one of the example docker compose files from github but I’m also having isse with the new configuration.
I have created a new question addressing my new issue.

Is it possible to delete this question because it is not relevant anymore?
