info

O.D.I.N. supports amd64 and arm64 architectures. It runs natively on Raspberry Pi 4/5, Intel NUCs, and cloud VMs.

Run the one-liner installer:

curl -fsSL https://get.runsodin.com/install.sh | bash

This script downloads the Docker Compose file, creates the data directory, and starts the container.

Manual Install

If you prefer to set things up yourself:

mkdir odin && cd odin
curl -fsSL https://get.runsodin.com/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d

That's it. The container handles everything else on first boot -- generating secrets, initializing the database, and starting all services.

Post-Install

Open your browser and navigate to:

http://your-server-ip:8000

You'll be greeted by the setup wizard. See First Login & Setup for the walkthrough.

warning

If you're running behind a firewall, ensure ports 8000, 1984, and 8555 are open. WebRTC on port 8555 requires UDP access for low-latency camera feeds.

Updating

Pull the latest image and restart:

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

Your data persists in the ./odin-data volume. Updates never touch your database, configuration, or uploaded files.

Uninstalling

Stop the container and remove it:

docker compose down

To remove all data, delete the odin-data directory. This is irreversible.
