@chilly-king-10285 How can I update the OPL for a namespace on a self-hosted keto instance? Does it require a redeployment of keto or is there a dedicated API that can be leveraged outside of the deployment lifecycle?

Based on the provided knowledge sources, there is no direct information about updating the Ory Permission Language (OPL) for a namespace on a self-hosted Ory Keto instance. The sources mention commands for migrating namespaces and updating the OPL in the Ory Network, but not specifically for a self-hosted Keto instance. However, there is a command
keto namespace migrate legacy
that allows you to migrate a namespace from v0.6.x to v0.7.x and later. This command can be used if you have legacy namespaces that need to be migrated to the newer version. Here is the command:
Copy code
bash keto namespace migrate legacy [<namespace-name>] [flags]
Options for this command include:
Copy code
bash       --down-only             Migrate legacy namespace(s) only down.         --format string         Set the output format. One of table, json, yaml, and json-pretty. (default "default")     -h, --help                  help for legacy     -q, --quiet                 Be quiet with output printing.         --read-remote string    Remote address of the read API endpoint. (default "127.0.0.1:4466")         --write-remote string   Remote address of the write API endpoint. (default "127.0.0.1:4467")     -y, --yes                   yes to all questions, no user input required
For updating the OPL in the Ory Network, there are commands
ory update opl
and
ory patch opl
. These commands update the Ory Permission Language file in Ory Network and overwrite legacy namespace definitions. Here is the command:
Copy code
bash ory update opl [flags]
or
Copy code
bash ory patch opl [flags]
Options for these commands include:
Copy code
bash   -f, --file string        Configuration file (<file://namespace_config.ts>, <https://example.org/namespace_config.ts>, ...) to update the Ory Permission Language config         --format string      Set the output format. One of table, json, yaml, json-pretty, jsonpath and jsonpointer. (default "default")     -h, --help               help for opl         --project string     The project to use, either project ID or a (partial) slug.     -q, --quiet              Be quiet with output printing.         --workspace string   The workspace to use, either workspace ID or a (partial) name.     -y, --yes                Confirm all dialogs with yes.
Please refer to the official Ory documentation for more detailed information: - [keto namespace migrate legacy](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/cli/keto-namespace-migrate-legacy) - [ory update opl](https://www.ory.sh/docs/cli/ory-update-opl) - [ory patch opl](https://www.ory.sh/docs/cli/ory-patch-opl)

@chilly-king-10285 On https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/reference/configuration the example values for namespaces are like "http://a.aaa" which is not very helpful. What are other options for configuring namespaces in this file? Notably - is there where I'm supposed to put in my OPL configuration for my namespace instead of writing them out like
Copy code
- id: 0
        name: user
      - id: 1
        name: folder
?

Based on the provided knowledge sources, there is no direct information about configuring namespaces in the Ory Keto configuration file with Ory Permission Language (OPL). The sources mention how to define namespaces in OPL and how to use the Ory CLI to manage namespaces, but not specifically how to configure namespaces in the Keto configuration file with OPL. In the Ory Permission Language, namespaces are defined as follows:
Copy code
typescript import { Namespace, Context } from "@ory/keto-namespace-types"      class User implements Namespace {}   class Document implements Namespace {}   class Folder implements Namespace {}
Each namespace holds a set of permissions, which define which relationships are checked. For example, checking a
view
permission for
User:bob
on an
readme.txt
file in the
Document
namespace requires the following relationship lookups:
Copy code
typescript is User:bob in viewers of Document:readme.txt // all viewers can view the document   is User:bob in editors of Document:readme.txt // all editors can view the document   is User:bob in owners of Document:readme.txt // all owners can view the document
The permission model defines which relationships are checked in the process. You can learn how to create a permission model [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/modeling/create-permission-model). For managing namespaces using the Ory CLI, there are commands like
keto namespace
,
keto namespace migrate
, and
keto namespace validate
. These commands allow you to read and manipulate namespaces, migrate a namespace, and validate namespace definitions, respectively. Please refer to the official Ory documentation for more detailed information: - [Namespaces](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/concepts/namespaces) - [keto namespace](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/cli/keto-namespace) - [keto namespace migrate](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/cli/keto-namespace-migrate) - [keto namespace validate](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/cli/keto-namespace-validate)

for the next reader, there are some better hints in here: https://github.com/ory/keto/blob/master/embedx/config.schema.json#L320-L362 the documentation for self-hosted keto as it pertains to OPL is missing afaict
