I have started using Heroku's addon for ElasticSearch, Bonsai. I want to create a backend search for several categories on my website. Since this is a backend only service, and may contain sensitive information, how do I limit the IP addresses connecting to the Bonsai server that Heroku has provided me to only the IP address/range of my web servers.

Note that my web servers are running on private hardware and are not hosted on a cloud service. I am also not using any other web service on Heroku, so I prefer not to use a Ruby answer to this.

  • You should definitely get in touch with me at info@bonsai.io if you haven't already so we can discuss that. We've got options for you. – Nick Zadrozny Mar 22 '13 at 07:16

  • For anyone that ends up here from Google... What was the answer/solution? – Nick Feb 12 '16 at 15:17

    @Nick we've got a pretty robust HTTPS + Basic Auth support, and IP whitelisting on a beta basis. For posterity, if unclear, drop us a line and we're happy to work with you on a variety of auth use cases. – Nick Zadrozny Feb 15 '16 at 01:41

I ended up working with the Bonsai team to set up a custom solution on their end that required a username and password combination to access any data on my hosted search.
