Show HN: Open Policy Registry: a Docker-inspired workflow for OPA policies

Excited to see this develop further. It would be amazing to have a searchable destination for extendable policies like we now do with docker images.

When we first started using OPA [1], we were impressed with how flexible it is as a general-purpose decision engine. One thing we missed, though, is the ability to interact with policy bundles in the same way that we interact with docker images.<p>We created the policy CLI [2] to replicate the docker workflow for OPA policies, and the open policy registry [3] as a place where the OPA community can store and share policy images.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openpolicyagent.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openpolicyagent.org</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opcr-io&#x2F;policy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opcr-io&#x2F;policy</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openpolicyregistry.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openpolicyregistry.io</a>

Can the tool push policies to other OCI registries like docker hub or the GitHub registry? I mean, it&#x27;s nice to have a dedicated registry for OPA policies but are there alternatives?

The policy CLI builds upon the ideas and direction described in <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;open-policy-agent&#x2F;opa&#x2F;issues&#x2F;1413" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;open-policy-agent&#x2F;opa&#x2F;issues&#x2F;1413</a> (May 2019) and attempts to provide a concrete solution for a standard workflow for Policy As Code creation, publishing, sharing, and consumption.

Once you start using policies as code, something like this is great because you need something to handle the lifecycle of your policy artifact.

Looks like I need an account to use the registry. What information do you collect?

Are there any github actions available to build and push policies to openpolicyregistry.io ?
