Trinity

Trinity is a self-hosted AI-agent platform for running and orchestrating Claude Code, Codex and Gemini agents through an operational layer with isolated Docker containers, scheduling, delegation, observability, cost tracking and audit trails. It is distributed under the Apache-2.0 license and identifies Python as its primary language.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Trinity when agent work needs a self-hosted runtime, fleet-level coordination or operational visibility rather than a standalone agent session.

Who it is for

  • Teams operating multiple AI agents on infrastructure they control.
  • Developers building internal agent orchestration services.
  • Organizations seeking scheduling, monitoring and audit capabilities around agent execution.

Documented uses

  • Run supported AI agents in isolated Docker containers.
  • Coordinate work between agents through delegation.
  • Schedule recurring agent tasks across a fleet.
  • Monitor agent activity and operational health.
  • Maintain execution records through an audit trail.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository describes Trinity as open source under the Apache-2.0 license. Docker is required. SQLite is the default for local development and evaluation; PostgreSQL is recommended for production.

  • Self-hosting keeps the runtime on infrastructure selected by the operator.
  • Docker isolation is part of the described execution model.
  • Claude Code, Codex and Gemini support is stated, but integration configuration is not included in the supplied material.
  • Production deployments should use PostgreSQL according to the repository guidance, while SQLite is intended for local development and evaluation.
  • The project identifies scheduling, delegation, observability, cost tracking and audit trails as platform capabilities.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Start Trinity on a Linux server with prebuilt images

Install and start Trinity on a Linux server using the hosted prebuilt-image stack.

Before you start

  • A Linux server; Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or later is recommended, with 8 GB RAM minimum.
  • Docker Engine 24+ and the Docker Compose plugin.
  • A domain or subdomain pointing to the server IP, or a plan for private access.
  • OpenSSL and outbound HTTPS access from the server.
  • An .env configuration with ADMIN_PASSWORD, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, FRONTEND_URL / PUBLIC_CHAT_URL, and an email provider.

Steps

  1. Clone the Trinity repository and change into its directory.

  2. Copy .env.example to .env and configure the required values.

  3. Pin the desired release by adding a TRINITY_IMAGE_TAG value to .env.

  4. Run ./scripts/deploy/start.sh --hosted --unattended.

Expected outcome

The hosted stack starts using prebuilt images; on a fresh install, the script configures the bundled PostgreSQL service and reports serving status and next steps.

Guide limitations

  • Keep the repository checkout beside the compose file because the hosted stack mounts configuration and template files from it.
  • The hosted stack does not build images; a failed image pull stops installation.
  • Do not use a bare docker compose up -d on a production host; the guide specifies the hosted start script and hosted compose file for this setup.
