Welcome to Olympus
Olympus is a self-hosted enterprise file management and GenAI platform. This guide takes you from a fresh machine — server, desktop, or laptop — to a fully running system you can use in your browser.
:::tip You don't need to be a developer This guide is written for IT administrators and curious power users. You will run one Docker command and then click through a 9-step browser wizard. That's it. :::
What you'll have at the end
- A running Olympus deployment accessible at your chosen URL (or
http://localhostfor local installs). - ~29 containerized services brought up automatically: API, web UI, GenAI pipeline, vector + full-text search, monitoring.
- SSL certificates issued (or your own certs configured) if you chose a production deployment.
- An admin account ready for first login.
How long it takes
15–30 minutes, depending on your network speed. Most of that is downloading container images on the first run (~6 GB across 29 images). Subsequent restarts are seconds, not minutes.
