brighter Redact Enterprise

brighter Redact Enterprise is an ecosystem comprising of three containers which are managed by docker-compose. The three containers - redact, redact-gpu and redact-utils are described in the architecture below.

Running brighter Redact services

Prerequisites

docker login docker.brighter.ai

Make sure you have access to your redact license file. For this guide, we'll assume that it's stored within the same folder as the docker-compose.yaml file and named ./license.bal

Usage-based licenses	If you're using a usage-based license you must have an active internet connection at all times!

Starting brighter Redact Enterprise

(optional) Change the default configuration as described below
Start redact in default configuration by running:
./start_redact.sh
if you also want to start the graphical user interface add the -u flag
./start_redact.sh -u
Start anonymizing using the ui ($HOSTIP:8080/ui), sra ($HOSTIP:8080/sra), or the flassger interface($HOSTIP:8787).
Redact can be shut down with the following script:
./stop_redact.sh

Configuration

The configuration of the docker-compose setup can be changed within the docker-compose.env file.

GPU Optimized Images

The following GPU-specific containers exist, and can be used only with the specified GPU type for speed improvements:

Standard Image	T4 Optimized Image
redact-gpu:2.3.1	redact-gpu:2.3.1-trt-T4

This applys to the REDACT_GPU_IMAGE located in docker-compose.env
