# ops-warden
|
|
|
|
SSH Certificate Authority and certificate lifecycle manager for the ops fleet.
|
|
Signs short-lived certs for `adm` / `agt` / `atm` actors and exposes the
|
|
`cert_command` interface consumed by `ops-bridge` and other tooling.
|
|
|
|
See `INTENT.md` for direction, `SCOPE.md` for current implementation, and
|
|
`wiki/AccessManagementDirective.md` for SSH policy. ops-warden issues SSH certs
|
|
and routes every other credential need to its owner — see `wiki/AccessRouting.md`.
|
|

|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
**Recommended** (warden + experiential memory for route/worker/agent sessions):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make install-all
|
|
make verify-memory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
SSH-only install (no phase-memory):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Manual equivalent:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv sync
|
|
uv tool install . --with-editable ../phase-memory --force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or run without installing:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv run warden --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
phase-memory must be a sibling checkout at `../phase-memory` by default, or set
|
|
`PHASE_MEMORY_REPO` when running make. Opt out of memory at runtime with
|
|
`WARDEN_MEMORY=0`.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start (local backend)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# One-time: generate a CA key (keep mode 600, never commit)
|
|
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/ops-ca-user -C "Ops SSH User CA" -N ""
|
|
|
|
# Configure warden (~/.config/warden/warden.yaml) — see wiki/OpsWardenConfig.md
|
|
warden inventory add agt-example --type agt --principal agt-example
|
|
warden sign agt-example --pubkey ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
|
|
warden status agt-example
|
|
warden scorecard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Production uses the `vault` backend against OpenBao or HashiCorp Vault (Vault-compatible
|
|
SSH secrets engine API). Template: `examples/warden.production.example.yaml`.
|
|
See `wiki/OpsWardenConfig.md` and `wiki/OpenBaoSshEngineChecklist.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Routing lookup (`warden route`)
|
|
|
|
ops-warden issues SSH certs and **routes** every other credential need to its
|
|
owner. The `route` command group is a read-only lookup over the pointer catalog
|
|
(`registry/routing/catalog.yaml`) — it never calls another subsystem or returns
|
|
secrets.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
warden route list [--all] [--json] # scenarios (active-only unless --all)
|
|
warden route list --stale [--stale-days 90] [--all] # past review cadence
|
|
warden route show <id> [--json] # owner + wiki/canon pointers; SSH adds steps
|
|
warden route find "issue an api key" # rank scenarios by keyword overlap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Full role and examples: `wiki/AccessRouting.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make install-all
|
|
make test
|
|
make lint
|
|
uv run pytest -m integration # requires ssh-keygen in PATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key paths

|
|
| `~/.config/warden/inventory.yaml` | Actor → principals registry |
|
|
| `~/.local/state/warden/` | Signed certs, keys, `signatures.log` |
