Deploying Llama Guard Locally

Llama Guard is critical for the correct functioning of guard rails in llminspect. This guide explains how to deploy Llama Guard using a pre-built Docker image and a Docker Compose file.

Prerequisites

Hardware Requirements:
- A GPU with a minimum of 48GB VRAM.
Software Requirements:
- Docker & Docker Compose.
- Access to the Llama Guard Docker image (requires EUNOMATIX Org PAT).

Deployment Steps

1. Extract Deployment Files

Unzip the deployment package provided to you into your working directory. The package includes the the Docker Compose file needed to run Llama Guard in the deployment/llama-guard folder.

2. Deploy with Docker Compose

The provided Docker Compose file is pre-configured to use the pre-built Llama Guard image. An example docker-compose.yml is shown below:

services:
  text-generation:
    image: eunomatix/llama_guard:v1.0.0
    container_name: llama_guard
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "8888:80"
    deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:
          devices:
            - driver: nvidia
              count: all
              capabilities: [gpu]
    shm_size: 64gb

To deploy Llama Guard, open a terminal in the directory containing docker-compose.yml and run:

docker compose up -d

The -d flag runs the container in detached mode.

3. Monitor Deployment

To verify that the service is running correctly or troubleshoot any issues, use:

docker logs llama_guard

Testing Llama Guard

Once deployed, test the service using the following cURL command. This command sends a POST request to the /generate endpoint on port 8888:

curl localhost:8888/generate \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

The expected output should be similar to:

Summary

Deployment:
1. Extract the deployment package.
2. Ensure you have access to the pre-built Docker image using your EUNOMATIX Org PAT.
3. Deploy the service using docker compose up -d.
4. Testing: Use the provided cURL command to verify the Llama Guard endpoint. The expected response should indicate an unsafe message (e.g., "unsafe\nS2").
Troubleshooting: Check container logs with docker logs llama_guard if any issues arise.
