Currently, deploying Wassette outside of a development environment is risky due to the lack of TLS and authentication options. While issue #444 addresses making the service's bind address configurable, production deployments require additional security measures to ensure data integrity and prevent unauthorized access.
Proposal:
- Add support for TLS to encrypt traffic between clients and the Wassette server.
- Introduce authentication options (e.g. token-based, API keys, or OAuth) so only authorized clients can connect.
- Provide configuration via CLI flags, environment variables, and/or configuration files for these options.
- Document best practices for deploying Wassette securely in production.
Motivation:
Without these features, using Wassette outside a dev loop exposes it to security risks and makes it unsuitable for production environments.
Relation to Issue #444:
This proposal builds on the work in issue #444, which allows flexible bind addresses. Secure deployment requires both flexible network configuration and built-in security options.
Labels: security, enhancement
