Odysseus

---

Quick Start

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

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

Open http://localhost:7011 when the containers are healthy. The first admin password is printed in docker compose logs odysseus.

The compose files pull the official multi-arch image ghcr.io/odysseus-dev/odysseus (published by CI on every push to main and dev) and only build locally if the pull fails — so this also works on hosts without a build toolchain, e.g. as a Portainer stack.

Production deployments: pin the immutable tag instead of :latest. :latest and bare :X.Y.Z tags move on every push to main, but :X.Y.Z-<sha> (e.g. 1.0.2-7c8070f) always refers to one specific build:

ODYSSEUS_IMAGE=ghcr.io/odysseus-dev/odysseus:1.0.2-7c8070f docker compose up -d

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.

• Keep AUTH_ENABLED=true for any network-accessible deployment.
• Keep LOCALHOST_BYPASS=false outside local development.

Deployment details are in the setup guide.
