ARIS Documentation¶
ARIS is the enterprise AI intelligence platform — discover, understand, and govern how AI is being used inside your organisation.
This site is the operator's manual: how to install ARIS in your own environment, configure it against your identity provider, deploy collectors to hosts, and keep the system healthy.
ARIS is deployed as an isolated customer instance: on-premises, in the customer's own cloud, or in another customer-controlled environment. It is not a multi-tenant SaaS system.
Where to start¶
- First time? → Install. End-to-end on a single host with Docker Compose.
- Adding telemetry? → Install / Deploy the collector. Enable core ingest and connect host collectors.
- Configuring AI clients? → Configure. Point Claude Code (and other clients) at the local collector.
- Going to production? → Operate / Production hardening. TLS, secret management, scaling.
- Looking up an env var? → Reference / Environment variables.
What you get¶
Core hosts the API (aris-server), the web UI provides the operator experience, Postgres stores identity and ingest records, and optional host collectors forward AI usage signals into core. ARIS authenticates operators via Google Workspace SSO and reads your Workspace directory read-only to drive authorisation.
Supported deployment shapes¶
| Shape | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single-host Docker Compose | ✅ Documented here | The fastest path to a running install. Uses ARIS images from Docker Hub plus Postgres. |
| Host collector | ✅ Documented here | Install per workstation or server; forwards to core over mTLS. Packages and enrollment flows are documented for managed pilots. |
| Kubernetes / Helm | Not yet packaged | The container images and env contract are stable; a chart is on the roadmap. |
Identity provider¶
ARIS today supports Google Workspace as the identity source — both for operator login (OIDC) and for who-is-who (read-only directory sync). Other IdPs are on the roadmap.
