`_gather_inputs()` fails soft: a source that raises leaves its inventory as
`[]`. Every probe reads an empty inventory as "not configured" and answers
`disabled`, so a broken integrations file, email store, or endpoint database is
indistinguishable from a subsystem the operator deliberately turned off. With
the remaining subsystems disabled, `GET /api/diagnostics/services` then reports
`overall: "ok"` while three of its inputs failed to load — the exceptions appear
only in DEBUG logs.
Record each failure alongside the empty value (`failed`: source -> controlled
category) and report the affected subsystem through `_source_unavailable()`
rather than probing it with an inventory that is empty for the wrong reason.
- `degraded`, not `disabled`: the configured state is unknown, not known-off.
Not `down` either — nothing reached the subsystem and failed; the inventory
could not be read. Severity is non-zero either way, so a report containing a
failed source can no longer roll up to `ok`.
- A source that loads and is genuinely empty still reports `disabled`.
- One broken source degrades one entry; the others are still probed.
- `meta` carries the source name and the controlled `_classify_error()`
category only, never exception text, credentials, or database detail.
- `inputs.get("failed")` so an inputs payload without the key still probes
normally.
Verified with the reporter's harness: settings loading with
`search_provider: "disabled"` while the other three sources raise now yields
`overall: "degraded"` with `searxng` still `disabled`; before, all five read
`disabled` and `overall` was `ok`.

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.
