Open Source Palantir Exists: Real-Time Global Intelligence Dashboard
TL;DR: OSIRIS aggregates 10,000+ flights, 2,000+ satellites, 2,000+ CCTV feeds, real-time earthquakes, active fires, global news, and network threats onto a single live WebGL map. MIT licensed.
docker compose up -dand you're done.
Summary
Palantir — the $324 billion intelligence platform — has an open-source counterpart. It's called OSIRIS, and anyone can deploy it in 5 minutes with one Docker command.
Real data, real-time:
- ✈️ 10,000+ aircraft (commercial, private, military)
- 🛰️ 2,000+ satellites tracked
- 📹 2,000+ CCTV feeds (London, NYC, Washington, California)
- 🌍 M2.5+ earthquakes from USGS
- 🔥 Active fires from NASA FIRMS
- 📺 25+ global news livestreams
- 🔐 Network threats and CVE vulnerabilities
Plus a built-in RECON toolkit for port scanning, DNS lookups, WHOIS, and vulnerability scanning.
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/simplifaisoul/osiris.git
cd osiris
cp .env.template .env
docker compose up -d
# Open http://localhost:3000
Most features work without API keys.
OSIRIS vs Palantir
| Dimension | Palantir | OSIRIS |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Millions/year | Free (MIT) |
| Access | Gov/military only | Anyone |
| Tech | Proprietary | Open source |
| Data | Gov data | Public open data |
| Deploy | Contracts | docker compose up |
| Market cap | $324B | Community |
The RECON Toolkit
Beyond visualization, OSIRIS ships with:
- Port Scanner — TCP scan + service fingerprinting
- DNS Lookup — Full record resolution
- WHOIS — Domain/IP registration
- SSL/TLS Inspector — Certificate chain analysis
- IP Intelligence — Geolocation + ASN + threat reputation
- Vulnerability Scanner — CVE + NVD database
FAQ
Q: Legal? A: Yes. Aggregates public data from open APIs.
Q: Commercial use? A: MIT license — do whatever you want.
Q: API keys needed? A: Most features work without keys.
Personal Take
Deployed on a $10 VPS. Five minutes later I was watching flights over Ukraine, checking London CCTV feeds, and scanning my server's open ports from one browser tab.
A few years ago, this required government clearance. Now it's a Docker command.
Why This Matters
Palantir's $324B valuation is built on intelligence scarcity. Projects like OSIRIS challenge that premise. When anyone can aggregate and visualize the same public data, the advantage shifts from "who has access" to "who makes sense of it."
That's where AI enters. Feed OSIRIS data into an agent that correlates flight patterns with news events and alerts you in real-time. That's a weekend project with this codebase.
