Turn your hardware into a personal cloud OS that runs local AI models, private search, and self-hosted apps - escape Big Tech's data surveillance with your own Kubernetes-powered cloud stack

Every time you upload to Google Drive, chat with ChatGPT, or search with AI tools, you’re feeding the surveillance machine. Olares flips this model: it’s a complete personal cloud operating system that lets you run the same powerful services locally on your own hardware. Think of it as your private alternative to AWS, but built specifically for individuals who want to escape Big Tech’s grip on their data.

Built on Kubernetes, Olares comes with a curated ecosystem of self-hosted alternatives: run Ollama for local LLMs, ComfyUI for AI image generation, Perplexica for private AI search, plus standard productivity apps. The architecture mirrors public cloud services (IaaS, PaaS layers) but everything runs on hardware you control. With 4,100+ stars and active development, it’s gaining serious traction among privacy-conscious developers and homelab enthusiasts.

If you’ve been wanting to self-host but found the complexity overwhelming, Olares packages everything into a cohesive operating system experience. The project includes mobile apps, comprehensive docs, and a growing app marketplace. Perfect timing as AI privacy concerns reach fever pitch and more developers seek sovereignty over their digital lives.
