Installing

Steps for installing GenAI Security

Prerequisites

Docker Engine version 28.0.4 or higher must be installed on your system. For detailed installation instructions and post-installation configuration, visit the Docker official documentation. Complete the post-installation steps to ensure that the Docker runs properly.

The following are the minimum system requirements for deployments:

  • RAM: 16 GB
  • CPU: 4 core

For basic usage, the system is not expected to consume over 5 GB memory.

The API is exposed on port 8001.

Installing

Perform the following steps to install:

  1. Obtain Protegrity’s GenAI Security - Semantic Guardrail solution installation artifact from My.Protegrity portal.
    The artifact is a tarball file with name
    SEMANTIC-GUARDRAIL_RHUBI-ALL-64_x86-64_Generic.DOCKER_1.0.0.8.tgz
    .

  2. Unzip the file using the following command.

    tar -xzvf SEMANTIC-GUARDRAIL_RHUBI-ALL-64_x86-64_Generic.DOCKER_1.0.0.8.tgz
    
  3. Change the directory using the following command.

    cd Protegrity-Semantic-Guardrail
    
  4. Load the Docker image using the following command.

    docker load < semantic-guardrail-1.0.0.tar
    
  5. To access PII detection capabilities, ensure that Protegrity’s Data Discovery is also installed in the same network environment. Semantic Guardrail automatically looks for Data Discovery service with its default service name and port.

  6. Start the container using the following command.

    docker run -d --name semantic-guardrail -p 8001:8001 semantic-guardrail:1.0.0
    

The installation is completed successfully. The tarball files and installation directory can be removed.
For more information on container lifecycle management and volume cleanup procedures, refer to the Docker official documentation.
