# Deploy an Agent

### Architecture

### Publishing your agent container

1. Containerise your app
2. Publish it on Docker hub and get the reference to the container

### UI- Palliora Explorer

1. Open up the explorer and connect your wallet
2. Go to the Agents tab
3. You will find a "Upload Agent" button on the top right
4. Fill in the agent details.
   1. Name
   2. Description
   3. Price: The amount of Palliora tokens you want to charge from the users running your agent
   4. Container Image: The image reference pointing to your agent container image on docker hub.
   5. Environment Variables: The .env variables required for your agent to run. This will be passed to the agent container along with the `docker run` cmd. Make sure to include:\
      `TEST_OLLAMA_MODEL_ID` : The id of the model from the ollama registry to run your agent against. For eg:\
      `TEST_OLLAMA_MODEL_ID=gpt-oss:20b`&#x20;
   6. Port: The port on which your agent container will open up the websocket server to enable interaction with it.\
      WS Port: `8080`
5. Click Upload!
6. The network encrypts the agent details using **threshold encryption** by the guardian network and upload encrypted agent reference to Palliora's DA layer. The network will emit a `submitData` event to notify the participants of the upload.
7. The agent's metadata event will also be emitted as `daccRegisterData` which will hold a reference `refList` to the previously emitted `submitData` event.
8. Both these events will confirm the uploading of your agent!

### CLI

1. Define a json object with the agent properties, reference to its container and the `.env` variables required to have a functioning agent:

   ```
   {
       "name": "Defi-agent",
       "description": "A DeFi trading agent",
       "price": 1,
       "deploymentRef": {
           "containerImg": "0xshiven/defi-swapper-agent:latest",
           "envs": "APIKEY=apikeyvalue\nAPIKEY1=apikeyvalue1\nAPIKEY2=apikeyvalue3\n",
           "port": 8080
       }
   }
   ```
2. Add this json file under `Palliora-cli/data/agent.json`&#x20;
3. Use our Palliora CLI to upload the agent onto the Palliora network

```
pnpm run:upload-agent
```

6. This script will pick your agent's details from the `agent.json` file you added `Palliora-cli/data/agent.json` , encrypt the `deploymentRef` object using **threshold encryption** by the guardian network and upload encrypted agent reference to Palliora's DA layer. The network will emit a `submitData` event to notify the participants of the upload.
7. The agent's metadata event will also be emitted as `daccRegisterData` which will hold a reference `refList` to the previously emitted `submitData` event.
8. Both these events will confirm the uploading of your agent!
