Serve celery flower behind Django authentication.

flower command line

celery flower --address=127.0.0.1 --url_prefix=flower --broker=<broker url>

nginx segment

    location /rewolf/ {
        internal;
        rewrite ^/rewolf/(.*)$ /$1 break;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5555;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url


urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    url(r'^flower/', 'internal.views.flower_view'),
    )
 

views.py

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import user_passes_test

@user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_staff)
def flower_view(request):

    response = HttpResponse()
    path = request.get_full_path()
    path = path.replace('flower', 'rewolf', 1)
    response['X-Accel-Redirect'] = path

    return response

hi,
but your solution means, if users learn, url is /rewolf , then they can access it without any issues... am i right ?

edit1:
oh i see, there is "internal" , this is genial...thx

How do you get post requests to work? I tried csrf exempt on the django view but still got errors. Should this work for say, the restart worker pool form submit?

Or task revoke endpoint
