EnkryptAI Lite Installation Guide

This guide walks you through installing EnkryptAI Lite using Helm and applying necessary CRDs.

---

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes cluster (v1.20+ recommended)
• Helm 3 installed
• kubectl configured to access your cluster
• This chart requires you to have Kubernetes secret for keys/bucket. Kindly check ../../test-enkrytai-lite-secret.yaml for example

---

Step 1: Add Helm Repository

Add the Helm repository (replace <repo_name> and <repo_url> with the actual values):

helm repo add enkryptai https://enkryptai.github.io/helm-charts/
helm repo update
helm search repo enkryptai
kubectl create ns enkryptai-stack

---

Step 2: Apply Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) (Optional)

Apply the required CRDs only if you get error when installing below helm chart:

kubectl apply -f crds/

---

Step 3: Install or Upgrade EnkryptAI Lite

Install or upgrade the Helm release:

NOTE: Kindly use the latest release. Before apply ensure below secrets are present

1. Name: s3-cred in Namespace: enkryptai-stack
2. Name: guardrails-env-secret in Namespace: enkryptai-stack
3. Name: redteam-proxy-env-secret in Namespace: enkryptai-stack and redteam-jobs

Don’t forget to pass ENKRYPTAI_LITE_MODE: "true" in redteam-proxy-env-secret to enabled EnkryptAI-LITE

Please ensure there is no trailing whitespace or Newline in secret

Kindly update values file before applying

helm upgrade --install enkryptai-lite enkryptai/enkryptai-lite -n enkryptai-stack  --debug -f values.yaml

• enkryptai-lite: Name of the Helm release
• enkryptai-stack: Namespace to deploy the release
• .: Path to the Helm chart (current directory)
• --debug: Enables debug output for troubleshooting

---

Step 4: Verify Installation

Check that all pods and resources are running:

kubectl get all -n enkryptai-stack

---

Notes

• Ensure the namespace enkryptai-stack exists or create it:

kubectl create namespace enkryptai-stack

• Applying CRDs first is required; otherwise, the Helm chart may fail to install.
