EMQX Dashboard

This application provides access to the EMQX Dashboard as well as the actual, underlying REST API itself and provides authorization to protect against unauthorized access. Furthermore it connects middleware adding CORS headers. Last but not least it exposes the /status endpoint needed for healtcheck monitoring.

Implementation details

This implementation is based on minirest, and relies on hoconsc to provide an OpenAPI spec for swagger.

Note, at this point EMQX Dashboard itself is an independent frontend project and is integrated through a static file handler. This code here is responsible to provide an HTTP(S) server to give access to it and its underlying API calls. This includes user management and login for the frontend.
