Quick Installation

This guide walks you through installing Trust3 using Docker, the recommended deployment method for getting started quickly and easily.

Prerequisites

System requirements depend on how you run the AI Assets Collector:

  • Docker — quick test or a single host; see Run Collector (Docker tab).
  • Runtime on K8s — production deployment in your own cluster (for example EKS or AKS); see Run Collector (Runtime on K8s tab).

Docker setup

Use this path when you want a fast local evaluation or to run the collector on one machine with Docker Compose.

Host system requirements

Requirement Specification
CPU 2+ cores
RAM 4+ GB
Disk 10 GB free space
OS Linux, macOS, or Windows (with Docker Desktop)

Required software

Software Version
Docker 20.10+ (Install)
Docker Compose 2.0+ (included with Docker Desktop)

Network

  • Outbound HTTPS from the host to your Databricks and/or Azure APIs (for discovery).
  • Outbound HTTPS to the Trust3 API and container registry used by your tenant (see Run Collector for docker login and ingest settings).

Platform prerequisites

Complete before you create .env:

If you collect from… Guide
Databricks Databricks prerequisites
Azure / Power Platform Azure prerequisites

Kubernetes (Runtime on K8s)

Use this path when collectors must run inside your own cluster—for example network-restricted Databricks or Azure environments, or policies that require Kubernetes-native deployment.

Cluster requirements

Requirement Specification
Kubernetes Supported cluster (for example Amazon EKS or Azure AKS) in the region you select when creating the runtime
Access kubectl configured for the target cluster; permissions to create namespaces and deploy Helm releases in the runtime namespace
Network Outbound-only internet access from the cluster to Trust3 (Runtime Plane connects outbound; no inbound connectivity from the internet into the cluster is required for the control-plane link)

Required software (workstation)

Software Purpose
curl or wget Download the Trust3 runtime installation script (shown in the Trust3 dashboard after you create a runtime)
Helm 3.x — install the Trust3 Runtime Plane into your cluster
kubectl Verify runtime and collector pods after deployment

Trust3 Runtime

Requirement Notes
Trust3 account Sign in to Trust3 Cloud and access Settings > Runtime
Deployment type Partially Managed (D2P) with Basic Config
Cloud provider AWS or Azure, matching where your cluster runs
Prerequisites checklist Confirm AWS Prerequisites or Azure Prerequisites in the dashboard before Generate

Platform prerequisites

Same datasource prerequisites as Docker—configure them when adding AI Assets Collector under Collectors:

Databricks Databricks prerequisites
Azure / Power Platform Azure prerequisites

Setup

  1. Obtain Docker Compose File - Please contact Trust3 Support at support@trust3ai.com to request Docker Compose file.

  2. Create .env file in installation directory:

    Bash
