Quick Start

dev is the default branch and gets the newest changes first. Use main if you want the more curated branch.

bash
git clone https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus.git
cd odysseus
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build

Open http://localhost:7000 when the containers are healthy. The first admin password is printed in docker compose logs odysseus.

Native installs, GPU notes, Windows/macOS instructions, HTTPS, and configuration live in the setup guide.

Contributing

Help is welcome. The best entry points are fresh-install testing, provider setup bugs, mobile/editor polish, docs, and small focused refactors. See CONTRIBUTING.md and ROADMAP.md.

Security

Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools. Keep auth enabled, keep private data out of Git, and do not expose raw model/service ports publicly. Deployment details are in the setup guide.
