#### Self-hosted AI workspace

Odysseus is a privacy-focused, self-hosted AI workspace that runs entirely on
your own hardware. It provides a full-featured browser UI for chat, document
analysis, deep web research, calendar sync, image generation, speech-to-text,
email, and more — connecting to Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI, Anthropic, and any
OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Nothing leaves your machine beyond the LLM API calls you explicitly configure.
Your conversations, documents, uploaded files, and personal settings are stored
in ~/snap/odysseus/common/app/data and persist across snap updates.

LOCAL AI

Run 'odysseus.inference-snap' to detect a Canonical inference snap
(gemma4, gemma3, deepseek-r1, and others) and configure it as the
Ollama-compatible backend in one step — fully offline, no API key required.

QUICK START

After installation, run:

odysseus

Then open <http://localhost:7000> in your browser to reach the UI. The default
port can be changed by setting ODYSSEUS\_PORT in the environment or in your
.env file.

CONFIGURATION

Place a .env file at ~/snap/odysseus/common/.env to set API keys, LLM hosts,
and other options before starting the server. All variables from the upstream
.env.example are supported; for example:

OPENAI\_API\_KEY=sk-...
LLM\_HOST=localhost
ODYSSEUS\_PORT=7000
ODYSSEUS\_HOST=127.0.0.1

AUTH

Authentication can be enabled by setting AUTH\_ENABLED=true in your .env file.

SECURITY NOTE

This tool is capable of executing code, accessing files, and interacting
with external services on your behalf. Due to the nature of autonomous
AI agents, we recommend installing and running this snap inside an LXD
container as best practice. A container provides an extra layer of
confinement, limiting the agent's reach to the container environment
and reducing exposure to your host system and personal data.

lxc launch ubuntu:24.04 my-agent
lxc exec my-agent -- snap install --classic odysseus

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Odysseus

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```

### Install Odysseus

To install Odysseus, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install odysseus --candidate --classic
```
