* refactor(cookbook): move endpoint registration out of the routes closure _auto_register_llm_endpoint and _auto_register_image_endpoint use no closure state and model_serve is their only caller, so they can live in a plain module and be imported and tested directly. Bodies are unchanged apart from indentation. Tests now import the helpers instead of reading them from the route's closure. That lookup also failed if the route stopped referencing a helper, so add a test that pins which helper model_serve calls. Part of #4071 * fix(cookbook): bound the OLLAMA_HOST port scan The pattern rescanned the rest of the token from every OLLAMA_HOST= occurrence, so a long serve command with repeated assignments took quadratic time. model_serve runs this on the event loop, and a 192 KB command stalled the whole app for about 9s. Cap the host at 253 characters, the longest DNS name, so every valid host still matches. Part of #4071

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.
