Olares

Olares is an open-source personal cloud operating system, renamed from Terminus in 2025. It turns an ordinary machine or dedicated device into a private cloud: apps install like phone software, while documents, photos, files and smart-home records stay local and are reachable from any device over an encrypted channel.

The system runs on Kubernetes with applications sandboxed and network, storage and resource permissions capped, Olares ID provides unified login through a decentralized identifier, LarePass manages keys and connections across devices, and Olares Space supplies custom access addresses, backup and billing. On the AI side it runs workloads such as Ollama, ComfyUI and Dify locally, wiring models, knowledge bases and agents together over the Model Context Protocol, with agents able to negotiate for compute and services through the Otmoic protocol.
