Example Snyk Config Repo

This is a repository preconfigured to run the github actions workflows that drive a Snyk Sync import / synchronization of all the repositories in a given GitHub Organization (cloud or enterprise) into one or more Snyk Organizations.

Snyk Sync works by checking to see if all repositories from a list of Github orgs also exist in corressponding groups in Snyk. Sync checks each repo for a file at .snyk.d/import.yaml the specifies which Snyk organization this repo and it's projects should be imported into.

This repository has a set of GitHub Actions that codeify the steps of performing a Sync:

Combine the data set of existing Snyk Projects by Org and Repo (Target in Snyk) they come from with data collected from Github
Generate a Targets file (snyk-sync targets sub command), a Diff of Repositories that do not have any projects in Snyk or if they do have projects, they aren't in the correct Organization (imported prior Snyk Sync or a .snyk.d/import.yaml file was added)
Use Snyk's snyk-api-import tool to perform the actual import of the repositories
Run Sync again, to refresh and detect newly imported projects
Perform a snyk-sync tags update command, adding any tags defined in the import.yaml files from the repositories, if they are missing

Example import.yaml

Below is an import.yaml file that would be used to ensure projects from multiple branches in a repo are imported into Snyk along with custom tags added:

---
schema: 2
orgName: cse-ownership
tags:
  application: example
  team: cse
branches:
  - main
  - development

GitHub and Snyk Configuration

Create a GitHub Access Token that contains the needed permissions for Snyk to import and add webhooks to Github repositories
- repo (all), admin:read:org, and admin:repo_hooks (read & write)
Add a new GitHub Enterprise integration to an existing Snyk Organization that is the intended catch all organization.All projects from all repositories will end up in this organization unless otherwise specified via an import.yaml override.
- Disable All Disruptive Actions ensure all options on the GitHub Enterprise Integrations page are disabled, with the exception of "Auto-detect Dockerfiles"
- If you are a GitHub.com user, use https://api.github.com as the url
- use the new GitHub Token you've just created

Create a Snyk service account with Admin permissions. This needs to be Group level because Sync is expected to import repositories across organizations.

Repo Creation

Create a new repository in Github called config-repo (or snyk-config-repo)

Clone this repository to a local machine, remove the the current origin and remove the current origin. The below steps is a quick and dirty way to do this (and to drop all the history from the development of this example repo)

git clone https://github.com/snyk-playground/config-repo
cd config-repo
rm -rf .git/*
git init .
git remote add origin git@github.com:my-org/snyk-config-repo.git
git add .

Configuration

Short Version:

Ensure you have the SNYK_TOKEN and GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable setup on your workstation where the repo is checked out. This assumes you have docker running/working on your workstation.

Run the autoconf.sh script from the room of the repository, with the snyk org (as shortname/slug) you want to import repositories into followed by the github org you want to source the repositories from:

bash scripts/autoconf.sh snyk-org-slug github-org-name

This will replace the current snyk-sync.yaml and synk-orgs.yaml in the repository with ones pre-populated with values for your organization. Orgs are only added to snyk-orgs.yaml if they have a github-enterprise integration in place.

Long Version:

Edit snyk-sync.yaml:

Replace "snyk-playground" under github_orgs with your github organization
Replace "36863d40-ba29-491f-af63-7a1a7d79e411" under snyk:group: with your Snyk Group ID (it is in your group settings page but also in your group pages: https://app.snyk.io/group/GROUP-ID/reports/)
Replace "ie-playground" in default:orgName with the Snyk shortname (or slug) of the organization you want to have as default. It is the URL of an organization's page in Snyk: https://app.snyk.io/org/<org slug>

Edit snyk-orgs.yaml:

Remove "cse-ownership" and everything below it
Replace "ie-playground" with the slug of the default orgName
Replace "39ddc762-b1b9-41ce-ab42-defbe4575bd6" under orgId with the ID from the org's settings page: https://app.snyk.io/org/<org slug>/manage/settings
Replace "b87e1473-37ab-4f09-a4e3-a0139a50e81e" under github-enterprise with the ID from Snyk's GitHub Enterprise integration page: https://app.snyk.io/org/<org slug>/manage/integrations/github-enterprise

Test Configuration

In your local environment you can perform a local test and this is reccomended before trying to perform a full import via GitHub Actions.

Set GITHUB_TOKEN and SNYK_TOKEN as environment variables and run scripts/test.sh and the output should look like something below:

❯ bash scripts/test.sh

Write Successful

If you get Write Successful, you've successfully setup the configuration for snyk sync to run. Skip to "Optional: Local Sync" if you want to perform a full local sync.

Perform a full local sync

Depending on the size of the import-targets.json created from the last step, it may take a long time for the import task to complete. If the total number of repos Sync scanned is more than 50, we suggest executing this locally first before having it run as a GitHub Action. To do that, run bash scripts/full-sync.sh.

Once it completes, log in to the default Organization and check for projects under the GitHub Enterprise project filter.

Enable GitHub Actions

Following the instructions from GitHub to add repository secrets, add two encrypted secrets: SNYK_TOKEN that you created earlier as a service account and SNYK_GITHUB_TOKEN which was the github token you created for the Snyk GitHub Enterprise integration.
Commit and push these changes to the main branch of the repository

git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

From the "actions" tab of the repository select the "create-import-data" and select the "run workflow" option that appears to the right, choosing "branch:main"
Reload the page and a new workflow should appear as running, select the workflow and view the logs, if it completes successfully, you should see that the repository how has a pull request.
Merge the pull request labeled Updated Repo List
Run a workflow again, this time selecting the "perform-import" workflow. This import may take some time if you did not perform a full sync locally first.
