Steps to reproduce

  1. run docker-compose up
version: "3.2"
services:
  zero:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    volumes:
      - /tmp/data:/dgraph
    ports:
      - 5080:5080
      - 6080:6080
    restart: on-failure
    command: dgraph zero --my=zero:5080
  alpha:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    volumes:
      - /tmp/data:/dgraph
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 9080:9080
    restart: on-failure
    environment:
      DGRAPH_ALPHA_SECURITY: token=abcdefghijkl
    command: dgraph alpha --my=alpha:7080 --zero=zero:5080 --security whitelist=0.0.0.0/0
  ratel:
    image: dgraph/ratel
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    command: dgraph-ratel
  1. curl -s localhost:8080/alter -d ‘{ “drop_all”: true }’

Its coming success ideally it should have been
Permission denied. No token provided.

Is it because you are specifying some of the security flag with environment and some with flags? Try all one way or the other maybe.

dgraph alpha --my=alpha:7080 --zero=zero:5080 --security "token=<secretToken>; whitelist=0.0.0.0/0"
