Local development with JWT and Docker

[coding-red-panda]

Hello,

I'm currently setting up a project that requires a NATS server with JWT for multi-tenant support.
Before that, we simply used a basic username/password to authenticate with the NATS server.

I'm now trying to set up Docker Compose for developers working on the project to be able to develop locally with containers, having a NATS server available to test and authenticate against.

Is there a simple guide somewhere available on how I can set up the NATS server with JWT inside Docker and handle the tokens etc, when building the containers?

• I'd need the server to support JWT in Docker
• Probably need "something" that can simulate the JWT validation
• Somehow generate a JWT creds file when the app container boots and inject it for usage from the code.
• We work mainly with C++ and C# as tech stacks.

I know this is probably..bigger than just do 1, 2, 3 ,but kind of lost in swapping to the JWT approach at this point.
