Three classes of incorrect detection fixed:
(1) AMD GPU + no ROCm installed (e.g. Strix Halo) was reported as
backend=rocm everywhere, so launch commands emitted
HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES (silent no-op on Vulkan) and the from-source
build path failed. Both _probe_amd_sysfs (routes/cookbook_routes)
and _detect_amd (services/hwfit/hardware) now probe rocminfo /
hipconfig / vulkaninfo at detection time and report vulkan when
only Vulkan is present.
(2) Build helper was picking the CUDA branch on AMD hosts whenever a
stray pip-installed nvcc was on PATH (vLLM wheels carry one
without libcudart). Added _odysseus_has_nvidia_hw() that checks
nvidia-smi / /dev/nvidia* / lspci, and gates both the nvcc PATH
augmentation and the CUDA elif branch on real hardware.
(3) Build chain reordered to ROCm/HIP > CUDA > Vulkan > CPU. Vulkan
tier added between CUDA and CPU as a portable fallback for hosts
with a GPU but no native toolchain (the common Strix Halo case).
Same _append_llama_cpp_linux_accel_build_lines also auto-attempts
sudo -n apt/pacman/dnf install of cmake/build-essential/git when
they are missing, surfacing a clear no-passwordless-sudo warning
otherwise.

Quick Start
devis the default branch and gets the newest changes first. Usemainif you want the more curated branch.
git clone https://github.com/pewdiepie-archdaemon/odysseus.git
cd odysseus
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
Open http://localhost:7000 when the containers are healthy. The first admin password is printed in docker compose logs odysseus.
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. Deployment details are in the setup guide.
