# Triton Inference Server
> Integrate Triton-hosted custom models with Portkey for production observability and reliability.
Portkey provides a robust platform to observe, govern, and manage your **locally** or **privately** hosted custom models using Triton Inference Server.
Here's the official [Triton Inference Server documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/triton-inference-server/user-guide/docs/getting_started/quickstart.html) for more details.
## Integration Steps
Expose your Triton server using a tunneling service like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) or make it publicly accessible. Skip this if you're self-hosting the Gateway.
```sh theme={"system"}
ngrok http 8000 --host-header="localhost:8080"
```
1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers)
2. Enable **"Local/Privately hosted provider"** toggle
3. Select **Triton** as the provider type
4. Enter your Triton server URL in **Custom Host**: `http://localhost:8000/v2/models/mymodel`
5. Add authentication headers if needed
6. Name your provider (e.g., `my-triton`)
See all setup options
```python Python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
portkey = Portkey(
api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
provider="@my-triton"
)
response = portkey.chat.completions.create(
model="your-model-name",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```
```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
const portkey = new Portkey({
apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
provider: '@my-triton'
});
const response = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
model: 'your-model-name',
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }]
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```
**Or use custom host directly:**
```python Python theme={"system"}
from portkey_ai import Portkey
portkey = Portkey(
api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
provider="triton",
custom_host="http://localhost:8000/v2/models/mymodel",
Authorization="AUTH_KEY" # If needed
)
```
```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';
const portkey = new Portkey({
apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
provider: 'triton',
customHost: 'http://localhost:8000/v2/models/mymodel',
Authorization: 'AUTH_KEY' // If needed
});
```
