Deploy admin app

Nuts Admin is an optional web application for managing your Nuts node by hand: create subjects, load and issue credentials, and register on Discovery Services. It's useful for testing and for small numbers of care organizations. For many care organizations, integrate with the node's internal API instead, as described in the rest of this book.

Run it

docker run -p 1305:1305 -e NUTS_NODE_ADDRESS=http://nutsnode:8081 nutsfoundation/nuts-admin:<version>

• NUTS_NODE_ADDRESS points to the node's internal API.
• Nuts Admin listens on port 1305 (change it with PORT).
• For the latest version, see the tags on Docker Hub.

See the Nuts Admin README for all settings.

Secure it

Nuts Admin passes requests on to the node's internal API. Anyone who can reach Nuts Admin can manage your node.

• Turn on user login with OpenID Connect (NUTS_OIDC_ENABLED=true, plus the settings in the README), or
• restrict access to Nuts Admin in another way, e.g. network separation.

Never expose Nuts Admin to the internet without login.
