Your own hardware should be the cloud your AI lives in. Olares is an open-source personal cloud operating system that turns one machine, or a small cluster of them, into a private AI platform: run local large language models, keep always-on agents working on your files, and open a browser-based desktop of apps from any device. The built-in Lares assistant takes instructions in plain language and delegates research, file management, and routine automation to agents. The Model Console downloads and serves open models from a local catalog, with GPUs pooled across nodes and split by time or memory for AI, media, and gaming workloads. A one-click market installs self-hosted applications beside the system apps: Files browsing local folders, synced data, cloud storage, and SMB or NFS shares; Vault managing secrets; Dashboard watching the machine; and Control Hub administering it all. Networking stays private by design, with a built-in VPN, reverse proxy, and public, private, or internal entrances giving each app an HTTPS address without exposing individual ports. Backups protect the whole system, the desktop works from phone or browser anywhere, and your apps, storage, and accelerators behave like one coherent computer rather than a pile of containers. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
