About
What Hermes Agent does
Hermes Agent is a self-hosted AI agent platform combining a web terminal dashboard with an underlying messaging gateway. It provides a browser-accessible terminal interface backed by the Hermes gateway service, enabling you to run and interact with AI agents entirely on your own infrastructure.
Install Flow
How to self-host Hermes Agent
Hermes Agent can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Hermes Agent does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for
- Access a browser-based terminal to interact with AI agents running on your own server without relying on third-party cloud services.
- Run the Hermes messaging gateway locally to orchestrate AI agent tasks and automate workflows with full control over your data.
- Use the health-check API to monitor gateway status from the web dashboard and ensure agent services are always running.

Notes
Things to know before you deploy
- Set HERMES_API_KEY to a strong secret before exposing the gateway — both the web and gateway services must share the same value.
- The gateway API server binds to 0.0.0.0 inside the container; it is not exposed to the host but is reachable by the web service on the internal Docker network.
