in-toto Layout Creation Wizard

A Flask-based web app to guide project owners through creating an in-toto layout.

More information about in-toto and in-toto layouts can be found at the project website in-toto.io.

Installation

Requirements

• Python -- backend
• npm -- frontend dependencies
• Ruby and SASS -- CSS preprocessor
• MongoDB -- to persist user session data (for usage analysis)

# Start `mongod` (if not already running)
sudo systemctl start mongod

# Install backend (c.f. requirements.txt)
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install and vendorize frontend dependencies and compile scss
# c.f. dependencies and scripts in package.json
npm install

Deployment

• Add an instance folder with your deployment configuration, e.g.:

  
  # Example configuration in FLASK_APP_ROOT/instance/config.py
  DEBUG = False
  SECRET_KEY = '?\xbf,\xb4\x8d\xa3"<\x9c\xb0@\x0f5\xab,w\xee\x8d$0\x13\x8b83' #CHANGE THIS!!!!!

- Take a look at `wizard.wsgi` and [these`mod_wsgi` instructions](http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.12/deploying/mod_wsgi/)
for further guidance.

### Development Tips
- Run the development server like this:
```shell
python wizard.py

• Run a sass watcher during development to automatically compile css on file change:

  sass --watch static/scss/main.scss:static/css/main.scss.css

• Make extensive use of (e.g. chrome's) browser developer tools, e.g. map DevTool files to your local workspace to live edit *.scss and *.js files.
