Windows Installation
O.D.I.N. runs on Windows 10/11 via Docker Desktop with the WSL2 backend.
Prerequisites
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Windows | 10 (build 19041+) or 11 |
| Docker Desktop | Latest, with WSL2 backend enabled |
| RAM | 2 GB available for the container |
| Disk | 10 GB |
Docker Desktop must be running with the WSL2 backend, not the legacy Hyper-V backend. You can check this in Docker Desktop under Settings > General > Use the WSL 2 based engine.
Quick Install
Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HughKantsime/runsodin/master/install/install.ps1 | iex
This downloads the Docker Compose file, creates the data directory, and starts O.D.I.N.
Manual Install
If you prefer to do it step by step in PowerShell:
mkdir odin
cd odin
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HughKantsime/runsodin/master/docker-compose.yml" -OutFile "docker-compose.yml"
docker compose up -d
Once the container is running, open your browser to:
http://localhost:8000
Common Windows Issues
WSL2 not enabled
If Docker Desktop won't start or shows a WSL2 error:
wsl --install
Reboot after installation. Then re-launch Docker Desktop.
Docker Desktop not running
The O.D.I.N. container requires Docker Desktop to be running. If docker compose up -d fails with a connection error, open Docker Desktop and wait for it to finish starting.
Firewall blocking ports
Windows Defender Firewall may block ports 8000, 1984, and 8555. If you can't reach the UI from another device on your network, add inbound rules:
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ODIN Web" -Direction Inbound -Port 8000 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ODIN go2rtc" -Direction Inbound -Port 1984 -Protocol TCP -Action Allow
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "ODIN WebRTC" -Direction Inbound -Port 8555 -Protocol UDP -Action Allow
Accessing from other devices
By default, localhost:8000 only works from the Windows machine itself. To access O.D.I.N. from other devices on your network, use the machine's LAN IP address (e.g., http://192.168.1.100:8000).
Updating
Open PowerShell in your odin directory:
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
