Olares is an open-source personal cloud operating system built on Kubernetes that turns your own hardware into a self-hosted AI platform for running AI agents and local LLMs. It provides a browser-accessible desktop experience with one-click app installs, GPU/accelerator pooling, file storage, identity, VPN access, and natural-language management via Agent Skills and the olares-cli.

Use cases

• run local LLMs and AI agents on my own hardware
• self-host a personal cloud with files, apps, and AI in one place
• manage my homelab server in plain language with an AI agent
• pool GPUs across nodes for AI and media workloads
• host open-source apps with one-click installs from an app market
• keep my AI data private instead of using cloud AI services
• give my family or small team a private cloud with shared apps

When to choose

• you want to run AI agents and local models on hardware you own with full data privacy
• you want a Kubernetes-backed homelab OS with a polished desktop, app market, and storage
• you want to operate your server through natural-language agent commands
• you need GPU sharing features like time-slicing and memory-slicing for AI workloads

When to avoid

• you need a lightweight single-purpose tool rather than a full OS-level platform
• you cannot dedicate always-on hardware or lack resources for a Kubernetes-based stack
• you require strict enterprise compliance or a permissive license, since Olares is AGPL-3.0
• you only want managed cloud hosting with zero self-hosting responsibilities
