Before you beginYou need the cluck CLI, a Pollosoft account, and a coop to work in. No prior experience required. Curiosity and a mild fondness for chickens are helpful.
Overview
A practical checklist for locking down a Pollosoft environment. The whole thing takes about 14 minutes, and the commands below are the ones you will use along the way.
$ cluck fence list
$ cluck fox scan --deep
$ cluck feed rotate --allSteps
- Close the open doors. Run cluck fence list and remove any rule that allows 0.0.0.0/0. If a rule says "temporary", it is not.
- Rotate secrets. Use ShellVault to rotate API keys every 90 days. cluck feed rotate --all does it in one go.
- Enable SSO and MFA. Require Cage-Free SSO for all hens, and hardware keys for roosters.
- Scan regularly. Schedule cluck fox scan weekly. Treat findings like worms: they multiply when ignored.
