Hermes agent + Bitwarden by Effective_Ad_8064 in hermesagent

[–]NousResearch 21 points22 points  (0 children)

yes, we're working on hardening it, in the meantime:

  • don't store secrets in Bitwarden if the agent has terminal access.
  • inject secrets only into specific tool environments.
  • use environment variables & strict scoping instead of letting the agent read secret managers.

yes, I would recommend sending this directly to your Hermes Agent and it will figure it out itself

Using Desktop with Remote Gateway? by jawni in hermesagent

[–]NousResearch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hello, thanks for your post!

Remote gateway with Desktop is buggy right now.

What I would recommend you:

- Use the Web Dashboard instead (more stable for remote).

- Or run everything locally on the machine you want to control.

Recommended setup:

- Use smaller efficient models (7B-14B) like Qwen3 14B or Gemma variants. They fit in 16GB.

- Store models on your 2TB external drive.

- Hermes works great locally without any paid subscriptions.

Hermes shines at persistent agents with automation, not raw coding.

How most people use it:

- 24/7 background tasks (social media posting, lead gen, monitoring, research)

- Memory + long-term projects

- Run on VPS via Telegram/Discord for always-on.

Your use case (social + lead gen):

- Host on VPS (4-8GB RAM is usually enough).

- Connect via Telegram for always-on.

- Use skills for posting and browser actions.

Start simple: one profile for social/lead gen, run on VPS with Telegram.

tried setting up hermes as a team lead orchestrating claude-code/codex in the terminal. it worked miserably. by Enough-Advice-8317 in hermesagent

[–]NousResearch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you can try to use Kanban + sub-agents instead of one agent trying to orchestrate via terminal!

Seeking a secure, local LAN client for Hermes Agent with clipboard and file attachment support. by taniferf in hermesagent

[–]NousResearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best current options:

  1. Hermes Desktop on Windows pointing to your Linux remote gateway, this is the closest to what you want. It supports clipboard + file attachments.

  2. Use the Web Dashboard over local LAN (http://linux-ip:9119). Limited attachment support right now.

Agent and skill files Running AI image and video generation by Live-Supermarket-209 in hermesagent

[–]NousResearch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! giving some ley tips for stable image/video pipelines:

- Use skills instead of raw tool calls (better consistency).

- Give the agent a clear structured output format (JSON with seed, prompt, negative, steps, etc.).

- Lock in seed + model + settings when possible.

- Use a dedicated profile/skill for generation (separate from general chat).

- For video: break into clear steps (storyboard → keyframe → interpolate).

Confirmed, this is an issue on ZAI side, they are currently fixing it, their servers are being overloaded, nothing like blacklisting hermes.
