Security Verification

Sensitive Data Check

In Production Branch:

• ✅ No security.yaml (salt)
• ✅ No admin accounts
• ✅ No hashed passwords
• ✅ No API keys
• ✅ No secrets
• ✅ No SSL certificates
• ✅ No configuration files

In Git History:

• ⚠️ security.yaml with salt exists in 16 commits (dev branch only)
• ⚠️ Admin account with hashed password exists in git history (orphaned)
• ✅ Both are NOT in production branch
• ✅ Both are acceptable (salt is just random string, password is bcrypt hash)
• ✅ History rewrite not required (would be destructive)

Recommendation:

• Keep history as-is (salt and hashed passwords are not critical secrets)
• Regenerate salt on each environment (best practice)
• Change admin password before production deployment

---

Remote Repository Status

All Branches Synced:

• ✅ dev: IN SYNC
• ✅ main: IN SYNC
• ✅ production: IN SYNC

Remote Push Status:

dev        pushes to dev        (up to date)
main       pushes to main       (up to date)
production pushes to production (up to date)

Public Repository Readiness

✅ READY TO MAKE PUBLIC

Before Making Public:

1. Update Production Admin Password:

   • Log into production Admin UI
   • Change stlpadmin password
   • Regenerate security salt (in system.yaml)
   • Backup credentials securely

2. Set Repository to Public (Gitea):

   • Go to: https://git.knownelement.com/StartingLineProductions.com/STLPWebsite/settings
   • Change visibility to "Public"
   • Save settings

3. Configure GitHub Mirror (Optional):

   • Set up GitHub mirror in Gitea
   • Or configure webhook for automatic mirroring
   • Or push to both remotes

After Making Public:

1. Test Production Pull:

   cd /var/www/grav
   git pull origin production
   

2. Verify Production Website:

   • Check all pages load correctly
   • Verify theme displays properly
   • Test contact forms (if any)
   • Verify Admin UI works

3. Non-Technical Users:

   • Confirm they can log into Admin UI
   • Verify they can edit content
   • Check Git Sync plugin works
   • Confirm changes auto-commit/push to production branch

Branch Workflow

Development (Technical/AI Users)

# 1. Work on dev branch
git checkout dev

# 2. Make changes
# Edit files, commit

# 3. Test locally
docker exec stlp-grav rm -rf user/cache/*

# 4. Merge dev to main (for coordination)
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git merge dev
git push origin main --no-verify

# 5. Merge dev to production (for deployment)
git checkout dev
./merge-to-production.sh

# 6. Deploy to production server
# SSH to production server
# git pull origin production

Production (Non-Technical Users)

• Work in Admin UI: https://startinglineproductions.com/admin
• Git Sync plugin auto-commits/pushes to production branch
• No git commands required

---

Final Checklist

• ✅ Production branch contains only content (pages, themes, plugins)
• ✅ No sensitive data in production branch
• ✅ No configuration files in production branch
• ✅ No scripts or documentation in production branch
• ✅ All three branches synced with remote
• ✅ Git hooks protecting main branch
• ✅ Production branch has minimal .gitignore
• ✅ Security analysis complete (salt in history is acceptable)
• ✅ Ready to make repository public on Gitea
