Enable Data Encryption
To ensure data security, we recommend enabling SSL encryption. Do the following:
On the host system, create the nginx configuration directory with the subdirectory that will be used to store all the SSL data:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/nginx/ssl/
Create the SSL key and certificate files. When using self-signed certificate, use the following command:
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/nginx/ssl/my-example-domain.com.key -out /etc/nginx/ssl/my-example-domain.com.crt
You will be asked a few questions about your server in order to embed the information correctly in the certificate. Fill out the prompts appropriately. The most important line is the one that requests the
Common Name
. You need to enter the domain name or public IP address that you want to be associated with your server. Both of the files you created (my-example-domain.com.key
andmy-example-domain.com.crt
) will be placed in the/etc/nginx/ssl/
directory.When using CA-certificate, add the certificate path to volumes for the
findface-video-worker
service, add the CA-certificates installation and update the root certificate store in the service container.Open the
docker-compose.yaml
file:sudo vi /opt/findface-multi/docker-compose.yaml
Locate the
findface-video-worker
section and adjust it to make sure it looks as follows.For CPU:
findface-video-worker: entrypoint: ["sh", "-c", "apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install --no-install-recommends --yes ca-certificates && update-ca-certificates && exec /tini -- /findface-video-worker-cpu --config=/etc/findface-video-worker.yaml"] depends_on: [findface-video-manager, findface-ntls, mongodb] image: docker.int.ntl/ntech/universe/video-worker-cpu:ffserver-8.221216 logging: {driver: journald} network_mode: service:pause restart: always volumes: ['./configs/findface-video-worker/findface-video-worker.yaml:/etc/findface-video-worker.yaml:ro', './models:/usr/share/findface-data/models:ro', './cache/findface-video-worker/models:/var/cache/findface/models_cache', './cache/findface-video-worker/recorder:/var/cache/findface/video-worker-recorder', '/etc/nginx/ssl/my-example-domain.crt:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/my-example-domain.crt:ro']
For GPU, it will be enough to add the path to the certificate and update the root certificate store:
findface-video-worker: entrypoint: ["sh", "-c", "update-ca-certificates && exec /tini -- /findface-video-worker-gpu --config=/etc/findface-video-worker.yaml"] depends_on: [findface-video-manager, findface-ntls, mongodb] environment: [CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0] image: docker.int.ntl/ntech/universe/video-worker-gpu:ffserver-8.221216 logging: {driver: journald} network_mode: service:pause restart: always runtime: nvidia volumes: ['./configs/findface-video-worker/findface-video-worker.yaml:/etc/findface-video-worker.yaml:ro', './models:/usr/share/findface-data/models:ro', './cache/findface-video-worker/models:/var/cache/findface/models_cache', './cache/findface-video-worker/recorder:/var/cache/findface/video-worker-recorder', '/etc/nginx/ssl/my-example-domain.crt:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/my-example-domain.crt:ro']
Important
For CPU version, the configuration requires internet access. If there is no access, please, contact our support team (support@ntechlab.com).
Warning
For CPU version, the startup time will increase by ~15 seconds for the
findface-video-worker
container.Rebuild all FindFace Multi containers.
cd /opt/findface-multi/ docker-compose down docker-compose up -d
Configure nginx to use SSL. Open the nginx configuration file
/opt/findface-multi/configs/findface-multi-ui/nginx-site.conf
. Apply the following modifications to the file:Add the new
server {...}
section that contains the URL replacement rule. In therewrite ^(.*) https://…
line, replaceip_address_server_ffmulti
with IP address of the server where FindFace Multi is installed.server { listen 80; server_name my-example-domain.com www.my-example-domain.com; rewrite ^(.*) https://ip_address_server_ffmulti$1 permanent; access_log off; }
Comment out the following lines in the existing
server {...}
section:# listen 80 default_server; # listen [::]:80 default_server;
Add the following lines, including the paths to the certificate and the key, to the existing
server {...}
section:listen 443 ssl; ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/my-example-domain.com.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/my-example-domain.com.key;
The example of the configuration file
/opt/findface-multi/configs/findface-multi-ui/nginx-site.conf
with correctly configured SSL settings is shown below:upstream ffsecurity { server 127.0.0.1:8002; } upstream ffsecurity-ws { server 127.0.0.1:8003; } upstream ffsecurity-django { server 127.0.0.1:8004; } upstream audit { server 127.0.0.1:8012; } upstream identity-provider { server 127.0.0.1:8022; } map $http_upgrade $ffsec_upstream { default "http://ffsecurity-ws"; "" "http://ffsecurity"; } server { listen 80; server_name my-example-domain.com www.my-example-domain.com; rewrite ^(.*) https://my-example-domain.com$1 permanent; access_log off; } server { # listen 80 default_server; # listen [::]:80 default_server; listen 443 ssl; ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/my-example-domain.com.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/my-example-domain.com.key; root /var/lib/findface-security; autoindex off; server_name _; location = / { alias /usr/share/findface-security-ui/; try_files /index.html =404; } location /static/ { } location /uploads/ { # internal; # uncomment if you intend to enable OVERPROTECT_MEDIA add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*'; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' '*'; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' '*'; add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' 'Content-Length,Content-Range'; add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 2592000; location ~ /card/(?<card_type>[a-zA-Z]+)/(?<card_id>[0-9]+)/attachments/(.*)$ { add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*'; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' '*'; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' '*'; add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' 'Content-Length,Content-Range'; add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 2592000; add_header 'Content-Disposition' 'attachment'; add_header 'Content-Security-Policy' 'sandbox'; } } location /ui-static/ { alias /usr/share/findface-security-ui/ui-static/; } location /doc/ { alias /opt/findface-security/doc/; } location /api-docs { alias /opt/findface-security/rapidoc; index index.html; } location /api-docs/ { alias /opt/findface-security/rapidoc/; try_files $uri index.html =404; } location ~ /videos/(?<video_id>[0-9]+)/upload/(.*)$ { client_max_body_size 15g; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_pass http://ffsecurity; } location @django { internal; client_max_body_size 1g; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_read_timeout 5m; proxy_pass http://ffsecurity-django; } # location /v1/video-liveness { # add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers "*" always; # add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods "*" always; # add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" always; # # if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') { # return 204; # } # # client_max_body_size 300m; # proxy_set_header Host $http_host; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; # proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:18301; # proxy_read_timeout 5m; # } location / { client_max_body_size 1g; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_pass $ffsec_upstream; proxy_read_timeout 5m; location ~ ^/(cameras|videos|vms|external-vms).*/stream/?$ { proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_pass http://ffsecurity; } location ~ ^/streams/(.*)$ { internal; proxy_pass $1$is_args$args; } location /audit-logs { proxy_pass http://audit; } location ~ ^/(auth|ad_groups|cproauth|groups|permissions|sessions|users|user-face|device-blacklist-records) { proxy_pass http://identity-provider; } } # location /users/me/ad { # # proxy_pass <FFmulti_address>/auth/ad_login/; e.g http://127.0.0.1/auth/ad_login/; # proxy_method POST; # # proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; # proxy_set_header Host $http_host; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; # proxy_set_header Authorization $http_authorization; # proxy_pass_header Authorization; # proxy_no_cache 1; # proxy_cache_bypass 1; # # auth_gss on; # auth_gss_realm <REALM>; # e.g. TESTNTL.LOCAL; # auth_gss_keytab <path/to/file.keytab>; # e.g. /var/lib/web.keytab # auth_gss_service_name <service_name>; # e.g. HTTP/web.testntl.local; # auth_gss_allow_basic_fallback on; # } }
Copy the generic nginx configuration file
nginx.conf
from thefindface-multi-findface-multi-ui-1
container to the/etc/nginx/
directory:sudo docker cp findface-multi-findface-multi-ui-1:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
In the configuration file
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
, find theSSL Settings
section and append the following lines:ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m; ssl_session_timeout 1h;
In the
/opt/findface-multi/docker-compose.yaml
file, mount the SSL-encryption data directory/etc/nginx/ssl/
and the configuration file/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
of the host system into thefindface-multi-findface-multi-ui-1
container:Open the
docker-compose.yaml
file:sudo vi /opt/findface-multi/docker-compose.yaml
Locate the
findface-multi-ui
section and adjust it to make sure it looks like this:findface-multi-ui: depends_on: [findface-multi-legacy] image: docker.int.ntl/ntech/multi/multi/ui:ffmulti-2.0.0 network_mode: service:pause restart: always volumes: ['./configs/findface-multi-ui/nginx-site.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro', './data/findface-multi-legacy/uploads:/var/lib/findface-security/uploads', '/etc/nginx/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl', '/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro']
Edit the
/opt/findface-multi/configs/findface-multi-legacy/findface-multi-legacy.py
configuration file.In the
ROUTER_URL
andIMAGE_CROP_URL
parameters, substitute thehttp://
prefix withhttps://
.sudo vi /opt/findface-multi/configs/findface-multi-legacy/findface-multi-legacy.py ... 'ROUTER_URL': 'https://127.0.0.1', 'IMAGE_CROP_URL': 'https://127.0.0.1', ...
If you use a CA-certificate, specify in the
ROUTER_URL
parameter the domain for which the certificate was created:'ROUTER_URL': 'https://my-example-domain.com
Add
https://my-example-domain.com
address to theEXTERNAL_ADDRESS
parameter:... EXTERNAL_ADDRESS = 'https://my-example-domain.com' ...
Open the
/etc/hosts
file on the server where FindFace Multi is installed and add the following line:sudo vi /etc/hosts ... 127.0.0.1 my-example-domain.com
In the system where you use a browser to interact with FindFace Multi navigate to the
hosts
file. Add IP address of the server that hosts FindFace Multi instead of theip_address_server_ffmulti
. Replacemy-example-domain.com
with your domain address - the same way you did it in the previous steps.For Linux OS do the following:
sudo vi /etc/hosts ... *ip_address_server_ffmulti* my-example-domain.com
If you use Windows OS, run
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
as an administrator. Add the following line to thehosts
file:*ip_address_server_ffmulti* my-example-domain.com
Restart the containers:
cd /opt/findface-multi/ sudo docker-compose down sudo docker-compose up -d
If you use self-signed certificate, disable SSL certificate verification for cameras and uploaded video archives:
Navigate to the Video Sources -> Cameras or Uploads.
Click to the camera or uploaded video archive.
On the Advanced tab, uncheck Verify the SSL certificate.
Warning
You may receive errors with getting screenshots from camera and working with video recorder, when deploying FindFace Multi in a highly distributed environment by fully customized installation and the pause
component is excluded from installation. To resolve this problem, add the following lines to the end of the /opt/findface-multi/configs/findface-multi-legacy/findface-multi-legacy.py
file:
USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = True
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')
Restart the findface-multi-findface-multi-legacy-1
container.
sudo docker restart findface-multi-findface-multi-legacy-1
