This guide takes a command-line OSINT tool in a GitHub repository to a published package that anyone can run with ot run. It takes about 20 minutes. You need:

  • a public GitHub repository with your tool (GitLab works the same way; see the notes on each page)
  • the ot CLI: ot doctor checks Docker and Python
  • Docker, if you want to test the image locally

Steps

  1. Write the manifest
  2. Test it locally
  3. Release

The example is osintverse-community/username-permutations, a small Python script packaged as a Docker tool.

Tip

If your repository is on GitHub or GitLab, the import wizard does steps 1 and 3 for you and opens a pull request you can review.
