Bacalhau includes a flexible auth system that supports multiple methods of auth that are appropriate for different deployment environments.
With no specific authentication configuration supplied, Bacalhau runs in "anonymous mode" – which allows unidentified users limited control over the system. "Anonymous mode" is only appropriate for testing or evaluation setups.
In anonymous mode, Bacalhau will allow:
Users identified by a self-generated private key to submit any job and cancel their own jobs.
Users not identified by any key to access other read-only endpoints, such as to read job lists, describe jobs, and query node or agent information.
As of Bacalhau 1.7 release, a more flexible and easy to setup authentication and authorization flow has been introduced. Please check the for more details.
