Installation

The policy-controller project contains an admission controller for Kubernetes, which can be installed on your Kubernetes cluster in a form of a helm chart.

If you run a private instance of Sigstore components, you can specify your own TUF root by mounting your TUF root.json file into the container (for example by mounting a Secret) and then pointing to it with –tuf-root argument as well as using –tuf-mirror argument to point to where the TUF mirror is. There’s an optional Secret tuf-root that you can create with key root that you can put the root.json file in that gets mounted as /var/run/tuf/root.json.

The webhook can be used to automatically validate that all the container images have been signed. The webhook also resolves the image tags to ensure the image being ran is not different from when it was admitted.

The policy-controller admission controller will only validate resources in namespaces that have chosen to opt-in. See the Enable policy-controller Admission Controller for Namespaces instructions for more details.

The policy-controller resyncs ClusterImagePolicies by default every 10 hours. Customize the resync period by using the --policy-resync-period argument and defining a duration for the policy-webhook deployment. See the Golang time package’s ParseDuration for example duration string formats.

See the Configuring policy-controller ClusterImagePolicy instructions for more details on configuration.
