POST /api/tasks and the scheduler both refuse action tasks whose action is in ADMIN_ONLY_TASK_ACTIONS (run_local, run_script, ssh_command, cookbook_serve) for owners without admin task privileges: those actions reach subprocess.run(shell=True) or SSH with no sandbox. The model-facing manage_tasks tool applied neither check, so an agent could create or edit such a task, resume it, or trigger it, and only the scheduler's execution-time guard stood in the way (pausing the task after the fact). Route the tool through the same src.task_action_policy helpers the HTTP route uses: create checks the requested type/action, edit checks the task as it would be after the edit (so an llm task cannot be flipped into a shell action), and resume/run check the stored task. Admins, non- privileged actions and llm/research tasks are unaffected; pause still works for everyone since it only narrows.

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
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.
- Keep
AUTH_ENABLED=truefor any network-accessible deployment. - Keep
LOCALHOST_BYPASS=falseoutside local development.
Deployment details are in the setup guide.
