Description
Expected Behavior
Temporal UI should be displayed in an iframe of another application when CORS is set to '*'.
Actual Behavior
Content is blocked. Iframe is empty
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- Setup temporal with docker environment. Set the corresponding environment variables like so in docker-compose.yml
[...]
temporal-ui:
container_name: temporal-ui
depends_on:
- temporal
environment:
- TEMPORAL_ADDRESS=temporal:7233
- TEMPORAL_CORS_ORIGINS=*
image: temporalio/ui:${TEMPORAL_UI_VERSION}
networks:
- temporal-network
ports:
- 8080:8080
[...]
- Access the exposed port via an iframe.
- IFrame reports blocked content.
Specifications
- Version:
TEMPORAL_VERSION=1.20.2
TEMPORAL_UI_VERSION=2.13.3 - Platform:
Linux / Google Kubernetes Engine
Context
I want to use the UI as part of a dashboard beacause here I have the benefit of not having the user authenticate in temporal, but beforehand in the dashboard. Therefor I want to display the UI inside it, hence the IFrame.
Thank you for sharing this great piece of software.
Suggestions appreciated.

Research direction
Start with the docker-compose.yml configuration and reproduce the iframe failure using the reported Temporal UI and environment versions. Inspect the browser’s blocked response and the UI’s CORS and iframe-related behavior. Done means the UI loads inside an iframe when TEMPORAL_CORS_ORIGINS is set to '*', without the content being blocked.
