The or-chain used to resolve before_msg_id / message_id evaluated
falsy non-strings (False, 0) to '' before the isinstance(…, str) check
was reached, so they silently bypassed type validation. Replace the
chain with explicit presence-aware logic that falls through on None or
empty string (preserving alias semantics) but rejects any other
non-string value with HTTP 400.
Also remove the now-tautological 'if keep_count >= 0:' guard, which
is always True after the negativity check introduced in the parent
commit. The DB block is unconditional and indented accordingly.
Tests: add {'before_msg_id': False}, {'before_msg_id': 0},
{'message_id': 0} to the parametrised rejection suite.

Quick Start
devis the default branch and gets the newest changes first. Usemainif 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=truefor any network-accessible deployment. - Keep
LOCALHOST_BYPASS=falseoutside local development.
Deployment details are in the setup guide.
