ORT Server
A scalable application to automate software compliance checks, based on the OSS Review Toolkit.
Builds on the OSS Review Toolkit
The server is based on the OSS Review Toolkit, leveraging its APIs for component analysis, license scanning, vulnerability databases, compliance rules, and report generation. This allows users to manage and analyze dependencies and licenses with ease, offering detailed insights and compliance reporting.
Software Composition Analysis
The ORT Server provides a comprehensive solution for organizations to perform Software Composition Analysis (SCA) at scale. It supports a wide range of project setups, from mobile apps to cloud services, enabling automatic generation of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs), dependency analysis, and identification of vulnerabilities, ensuring efficient management of software components across projects.
Web UI
The ORT Server includes a react-based web UI designed to streamline access to critical functions and data. This interface allows users to manage the compliance and security of their projects with ease, providing detailed reports of software components, licenses, and vulnerabilities.
REST API
The ORT Server provides a REST API that allows for seamless integration with other tools and automation workflows. This API offers endpoints for performing tasks like managing repositories, secrets, or users, and getting the results of ORT runs, making it easy to incorporate ORT functionality into existing DevOps pipelines or CI/CD environments.
Scalable Architecture
The ORT Server is designed with scalability in mind, leveraging container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes for efficient resource management and deployment. It allows organizations to scale their software composition analysis workflows horizontally by running the actual ORT components in separate containers. Kubernetes integration also provides enhanced automation, fault tolerance, and dynamic load balancing, ensuring high availability and reliability in production environments.
Access and User Management
The ORT Server incorporates robust user access and role management capabilities based on Keycloak, an open source identity and access management solution. It supports user authentication, authorization, and multi-factor authentication, allowing organizations to define roles and permissions for different users. This ensures that different users can access only the relevant parts of the system.
The ORT Server is the reference implementation of the Eclipse Apoapsis project which is currently in the incubation phase.
