Research direction

Start with the Allstar repository and GitHub App linked in the issue, then review how configuration is provided through the org-level .allstar repository or individual repository files. Coordinate with the org owners on the policies and actions to enable. Done means Allstar is installed on this repository and configured with settings appropriate for the Envoy community.

Description

I'd like to install Allstar https://github.com/ossf/allstar https://github.com/apps/allstar-app on this repo as a trail for eventually enabling on all envoyproxy org repos.

Allstar checks repos for violations against configured security policies, and takes actions when out of compliance:

Policies:

  • Branch Protection settings
  • SECURITY.md present
  • No non-org Admins (outside collaborators)
  • No binary artifacts.

Actions:

  • Create a GitHub Issue
  • Fix the issue (being developed)

Which policies to enable and which action to take are configured via config files in either an org-level repo named .allstar or files in the individual repo. This lets org owners control the main repo to manage settings.

I'll work with the org-owners to get it installed and configured with settings appropriate for the Envoy community.
