olares

Olares is an open-source personal cloud operating system designed to run AI agents and large language models (LLMs) on hardware you own. Built on Kubernetes, it transforms personal or team machines into a self-hosted AI platform accessible via any browser. Key features include one-click installation of open-source AI apps and models from Olares Market, accelerated computing management (GPU pooling, time-slicing, memory-slicing), and unified access to files, storage, and networking. It supports private VPNs, reverse proxies, and secure access controls, enabling HTTPS endpoints without manual port exposure. Olares also provides a suite of system apps (Files, Vault, Market, Dashboard) and cross-device access via Olares ID and LarePass. Use cases range from personal AI agents and local generative AI to smart home management, self-hosted workspaces, and personal data synchronization. The system architecture mirrors public cloud layers (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) with open-source alternatives, distinguishing it from traditional NAS solutions by offering an all-in-one cloud experience.
