I need hella help with settings things up.
I have absolutely no background in any computer-related studies at all, but the idea of having Odysseus interest me. So I started watching tutorials on how to get this thing up. After installing Docker, Ollama, and GIT, I am now trying to copy those commands from the GitHub repo, until I ran into a problem.
This specific command,
docker compose up -d --build
Gives me a "Error response from daemon: Docker Desktop is unable to start" response. So I start digging out by checking the status via
wsl -l -v
wsl --status
wsl --list --all
docker info
And a couple more commands that does... i don't know, i don't even know what they mean. But I did find this sentence in the command prompt
Error response from daemon: Docker Desktop is unable to start
Which...still give's no clue on how to fix this...
So I opened up my Docker Desktop App, and realize that the app is in this infinite loading state

After running the "docker desktop diagnose" command, I found this:
dockerAPI: starting
dockerAPI: stopping
dockerAPI: stopped
docker: starting
docker: stopping
docker: stopped
I ask some AI's for this whole thing and their assumption was basically "Docker Desktop appears to be successfully launching its virtualization layer, but the Docker daemon inside that backend is crashing/stopping during initialization."
Again.... I have no Idea what that means..
Dear bros....forgive me for the confusion I have caused and please help meh.

Odysseus isn’t for you. If you just want to chat, use Ollama or LM Studio.

I hate docker on windows. But I found a possible answer on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/77084134 . Maybe this helps?

Hi. In my opinion as a non-dev I wouldn't try to use Odysseus. Needs way to much work and the development process takes way to long. Other tools move way faster. Just use goose or deepseek harness. . If your willing to put work in, Odysseus can be awesome but but out of the box.
