# ODS V3 Pre-Release
**Osmantic Deployment System**
**Public testing and refinement ahead of the official V3 launch.**
**Turn your PC, Mac, or Linux box into a private AI server.**
AI server and homelab setup is rapidly becoming a solved problem.
It should feel that way for everyone.
ODS installs and wires together everything you need to run AI locally, so you do not have to assemble Ollama, Open WebUI, n8n, ComfyUI, and privacy tools by hand:
- **Local model inference** — run open models on your own hardware
- **ChatGPT-style web UI** — talk to your models from any browser
- **Control dashboard** — manage models, services, setup, GPU status, and extensions from one place
- **Voice, agents, and workflows** — build automations that can listen, speak, call tools, and get work done
- **RAG and search** — connect local documents, private search, and retrieval workflows
- **Image generation** — run local image tools without sending prompts to a hosted API
- **Privacy and ops** — keep service auth, secrets, observability, and diagnostics in one local stack
No cloud required. No subscriptions required. Inference, chat history and your files stay on your machine, and ODS collects no telemetry. By default it goes online only to download models and container images, to check GitHub for ODS releases, and to run web searches the Portal agent makes for you; the FAQ explains each one and how to turn it off. Cloud and hybrid API modes are optional when you want them.

The repository root holds this README, the installers, the security policy and
CI workflows; `ods/` is the product: services, installer phases, compose files,
dashboard, CLI, tests and operator docs.
## Get Started
Choose your system, copy the block, run it in a normal terminal. ODS installs the stack, picks a model for your hardware, starts the services, and gives you the local web UI.
**Linux or macOS**

**Windows PowerShell** — guided Ubuntu/WSL2 setup with Pixel/Portal
 [code] 
Linux and macOS: Docker must be installed and running.
Windows: open a **normal PowerShell window** (not "Run as administrator"), paste the block, and answer the prompts. Nothing else needs to be installed first. The installer:
1. Checks free disk space (40 GB) and that hardware virtualization is on.
2. Offers to enable WSL2 and install Docker Desktop with winget. Windows asks for administrator permission, then **one resta
