Vijil Dome is a fast, accurate, and comprehensive perimeter defense for AI agents that blocks adversarial prompts, prompt injections, jailbreaks, PII leakage, toxic content, and policy violations in the input and outputs. Deploying Vijil Dome to defend your AI agents running on a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster is now easier thanks to DigitalOcean Marketplace. In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple process of setting up Vijil Dome in just a few clicks.
Getting Started
First, navigate to the Vijil Dome listing on the DigitalOcean Marketplace: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/vijil-dome
Once you're on the marketplace page, you'll be prompted to select where you want to deploy Vijil Dome.
Step 1: Choose Your Cluster
You have two options: deploy to an existing Kubernetes cluster or create a new one specifically for Vijil Dome.

The marketplace interface will show you the minimum requirements needed to run Vijil Dome:
1 node
8GB RAM
4 CPU cores
10GB Disk space
If you're creating a new cluster, you'll be taken through the cluster configuration process.
Step 2: Configure Your Cluster (New Cluster Only)
If you're setting up a new cluster, you'll need to select the appropriate node configuration. Make sure to choose a plan that meets the minimum requirements.

DigitalOcean offers several node types. For Vijil Dome, the Basic node type with:
8 GB RAM
4 vCPUs
160 GB storage
This is the minimum viable configuration and provides plenty of headroom for your Vijil Dome deployment.
Step 3: Review and Create
Once you've selected your node configuration, review your cluster summary to ensure everything looks correct.

Deployment Time
After you complete the setup process, sit back and relax! The deployment typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete. DigitalOcean will handle all the heavy lifting of provisioning your cluster and deploying Vijil Dome.
Access Your Vijil Dome Deployment
Once the deployment is complete, you can verify that everything is running correctly by connecting to your cluster and inspecting the resources.
Check Deployed Resources
Connect to your cluster using kubectl and check the vijil-dome namespace to see all deployed components:
bash
kubectl get all -n vijil-dome
This will show you all the pods, services, deployments, and other resources that make up your Vijil Dome installation.
Find Your Service Endpoint
To access Vijil Dome, you'll need to find the external IP address assigned to the Kubernetes service. Run:
bash
kubectl get service -n vijil-dome
Look for the EXTERNAL-IP column in the output. This is the domain/IP address you'll use to interact with Vijil Dome.
Test Your Deployment
Once you have the external IP, you can test your Vijil Dome deployment immediately. Here's a simple test using curl:
bash
$ curl "<EXTERNAL-IP>/output_detection?output_str=hello"
{"flagged":false,"response":"hello"}
If everything is working correctly, you should receive a response from Vijil Dome processing your request.
Integrate Vijil Dome with LangChain
Now that your Vijil Dome instance is up and running, let's look at how to integrate it into a LangChain agent. This example demonstrates how to use Vijil Dome's output detection capabilities within an AI agent workflow.
This integration allows your LangChain agents to:
Automatically validate AI-generated content before delivery
Flag potentially problematic inputs & outputs for review
Maintain safety guardrails in production AI applications
You can extend this pattern to create more sophisticated agents that automatically retry generation when unsafe content is detected, or route content through different validation pipelines based on your specific needs.
Next Steps
Congratulations! You now have Vijil Dome running on DigitalOcean. From here, you can:
Configure your application to use Vijil Dome's detection capabilities
Scale your cluster as your needs grow
Monitor your deployment through the DigitalOcean dashboard
Vijil makes it easy to integrate guardrails into your LLM application and AI agent, regardless of the framework in which it was built. Our team has helped dozens of customers like you build, test, and deploy AI agents into production with reliability, security, and safety.
