## Quick Start
> `dev` is the default branch and gets the newest changes first. Use [`main`](https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus/tree/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: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](https://www.portainer.io/) 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:
```bash
ODYSSEUS_IMAGE=ghcr.io/odysseus-dev/odysseus:1.0.2-7c8070f docker compose up -d
```
Native installs, GPU notes, Windows/macOS instructions, HTTPS, and configuration live in the [setup guide](website/setup.md).

- **Compare** — blind side-by-side model testing and synthesis.

## Demo
A full hover-to-play tour lives on the [Odysseus landing page](https://odysseus-dev.github.io/odysseus/). Its source lives under [`website/`](website/).
## 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](CONTRIBUTING.md) and [ROADMAP.md](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](website/setup.md#security-notes).
