Configuration

DSO is designed to work with zero configuration, but you can customize its behavior.

Environment Variables

DSO_MODEL

Ollama model to use:

export DSO_MODEL=phi3
# or
export DSO_MODEL=mistral:7b

Supported models:

• qwen2.5:7b (default, ~4.7 GB) - Automatically installed
• llama3.1:8b (~4.7 GB, alternative)
• phi3 (~2.3 GB, lighter)
• mistral:7b (~4.1 GB)
• gemma:7b (~5.2 GB)
• llama3.1:70b (~40 GB, best quality)

OLLAMA_HOST

Ollama URL if different from localhost:11434:

export OLLAMA_HOST=http://192.168.1.100:11434

Configuration Files

~/.dso/config

The installation script automatically creates this file with your selected model:

# View current config
cat ~/.dso/config
# Output: DSO_MODEL=qwen2.5:7b

# Change model
echo "DSO_MODEL=llama3.1:8b" > ~/.dso/config

Priority order:

1. Environment variable DSO_MODEL
2. Configuration file ~/.dso/config
3. Default: qwen2.5:7b

Advanced Configuration (Coming Soon)

Future support for YAML configuration:

# ~/.dso/config.yaml (planned)
model: qwen2.5:7b
ollama_host: http://localhost:11434
scanners:
  trivy: true
  grype: false
  gitleaks: true
output:
  format: text
  verbose: false

Command Options

Ollama Configuration

Change Model

Via environment variable (temporary):

export DSO_MODEL=phi3
dso audit .

Via configuration file (permanent, recommended):

# The installation script creates this automatically
echo "DSO_MODEL=phi3" > ~/.dso/config
dso audit .

Via shell profile (permanent):

# Add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
echo 'export DSO_MODEL=phi3' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Ollama on Remote Server

export OLLAMA_HOST=http://ollama-server:11434
dso audit .

Scanner Configuration

DSO automatically detects available scanners. To force the use of certain scanners, use environment variables (coming soon):

# Disable a scanner
export DSO_DISABLE_GRYPE=true
