# Running Swarms Agent in Phala TEE

Welcome! This guide will walk you through running your Swarms Agent in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) using Phala Cloud. This setup ensures your agent runs in a secure, isolated environment.

## Prerequisites

- A Swarms Agent code repository (or docker image)
- A Phala Cloud account
- An OpenAI API key

## Step-by-Step Guide

### 1. Configure Your Environment

First, prepare your `docker-compose.yaml` file. You can find an example in [docker-compose.yaml](./docker-compose.yaml). Make sure to have your OpenAI API key ready.

```yaml
services:
  swarms-agent-server:
    image: python:3.12-slim
    volumes:
      - swarms:/app
    restart: always
    environment:
      - OPENAI_API_KEY=${OPENAI_API_KEY}
    command: # Run swarms agent example
      - /bin/sh
      - -c
      - |
        # install dependencies
        apt update && apt install -y git python3-pip
        mkdir -p /app && cd /app

        git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/The-Swarm-Corporation/swarms-examples
        cd swarms-examples/
        pip install -r requirements.txt && pip install langchain-community langchain-core
        cd examples/agents/
        python o1_preview.py

        # keep container running
        sleep infinity

volumes:
  swarms:
```

### 2. Deploy Your Agent

1. Navigate to the [Phala Cloud dashboard](https://cloud.phala.network/dashboard)
2. Create a new Swarms agent application

### 3. Monitor Your Deployment

1. Check the initialization logs of your agent

### 4. Verify TEE Attestation

Ensure your agent is running in a secure TEE environment by checking the attestation proof on the [TEE Attestation Explorer](https://proof.t16z.com/).
