Orion Platform is a comprehensive, web-based solution that combines the functionality of a browser, search engine, crawler, and data aggregation tools to empower OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) experts. Built on top of Docker, Orion provides a user-friendly interface to explore, search, and visualize data extracted by its powerful Orion Crawler.
The platform integrates seamlessly with machine learning models, enhancing search relevance and enabling advanced
content analysis. Orion supports a broad range of functionalities, including the ability to search, filter, and
visualize data across multiple categories, making it an invaluable tool for data exploration and intelligence
gathering.
Designed with flexibility and scalability in mind, Orion enables OSINT experts to feed data directly into the platform,
ensuring up-to-date and comprehensive datasets. Whether for investigative research, competitive analysis, or general
information gathering, Orion provides a unified ecosystem that enhances the workflow of professionals who rely on
actionable insights.
- Git and a Bash-compatible shell.
- Docker Engine with Docker Compose v2 (
docker compose). - A Node.js version matching
^20.19.0,^22.12.0, or>=24.0.0, with npm. - OpenSSL and
rsync, used by the local build script.
Install and configure · build and run Orion locally
git clone https://github.com/Orion-Intelligence/Orion-Intelligence.git
cd Orion-Intelligence
cp template-env .envOpen .env and replace every placeholder credential before starting the platform. Generate independent application
keys with:
openssl rand -hex 32
openssl rand -base64 32 | tr '+/' '-_'Use the first value for JWT_SECRET_KEY and the second for ENCRYPTION_KEY. The .env file is ignored by Git and must
never be committed.
chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh build -dAfter the services become healthy, open http://127.0.0.1:8080. Local HTTPS is also available
at https://127.0.0.1:8443 with a generated self-signed certificate.
For later starts or shutdowns:
./run.sh
./run.sh stopFor additional build modes, testing workflows, production deployment, and configuration details, see the developer documentation or the complete Orion documentation.
The Orion homepage provides a search-first investigation workspace with summary panels, recent findings, and visual pivots that help analysts move quickly from overview to deeper investigation.

Orion is built as an operational intelligence environment rather than a single search page. Its capabilities span the complete path from collection to analyst action.
- Collect and ingest intelligence from multiple sources.
- Normalize collected data and enrich it with investigation-ready context.
- Index and retrieve large investigative datasets through purpose-built search services.
- Search, filter, correlate, visualize, and review intelligence in one analyst environment.
- Extend the ecosystem as new collection sources and investigative needs emerge.
Orion is intended for OSINT analysts, research teams, cyber threat investigators, and platform operators who need a unified environment for collection, search, enrichment, correlation, and review workflows.
| Area | Current position |
|---|---|
| Development status | Actively developed on the trusted-main branch. |
| Supported deployment | Docker Compose for local and development environments, with a dedicated production Compose configuration. |
| Release policy | Versioned Git tags identify release snapshots. trusted-main contains current development, and releases follow validation rather than a fixed public cadence. |
| Documentation | Use the Orion documentation for platform usage, configuration, and API guidance. |
| Bugs and feature requests | Use GitHub Issues for reproducible bugs and feature proposals that contain no sensitive information. |
| Operational help | Use the in-platform Help & Support workflow or the collaboration page for non-security questions. |
| Security reports | Follow the Security Policy and report vulnerabilities privately. |
The Orion ecosystem is composed of connected repositories and services that support the full intelligence lifecycle. Individual modules focus on collection, storage, supporting services, the analyst experience, browser-assisted acquisition, and specialized social-data workflows.
Orion follows a clear path from source collection to analyst action:
