OPAL example configuration with decision logs
version: "3.8"
services:
# When scaling the opal-server to multiple nodes and/or multiple workers, we use
# a *broadcast* channel to sync between all the instances of opal-server.
# Under the hood, this channel is implemented by encode/broadcaster (see link below).
# At the moment, the broadcast channel can be either: postgresdb, redis or kafka.
# The format of the broadcaster URI string (the one we pass to opal server as `OPAL_BROADCAST_URI`) is specified here:
# https://github.com/encode/broadcaster#available-backends
broadcast_channel:
image: postgres:alpine
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=postgres
- POSTGRES_USER=postgres
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
opal_server:
# by default we run opal-server from latest official image
image: authorizon/opal-server:latest
environment:
# the broadcast backbone uri used by opal server workers (see comments above for: broadcast_channel)
- OPAL_BROADCAST_URI=postgres://postgres:postgres@broadcast_channel:5432/postgres
# number of uvicorn workers to run inside the opal-server container
- UVICORN_NUM_WORKERS=4
# the git repo hosting our policy
# - if this repo is not public, you can pass an ssh key via `OPAL_POLICY_REPO_SSH_KEY`)
# - the repo we pass in this example is *public* and acts as an example repo with dummy rego policy
# - for more info, see: https://github.com/authorizon/opal/blob/master/docs/HOWTO/track_a_git_repo.md
- OPAL_POLICY_REPO_URL=https://github.com/authorizon/opal-example-policy-repo
# in this example we will use a polling interval of 30 seconds to check for new policy updates (git commits affecting the rego policy).
# however, it is better to utilize a git *webhook* to trigger the server to check for changes only when the repo has new commits.
# for more info see: https://github.com/authorizon/opal/blob/master/docs/HOWTO/track_a_git_repo.md

# after the initial sources are fetched, the client will subscribe only to update notifications sent by the server.
