hermes-devcontainer

VSCode devcontainer for running Hermes Agent.

Usage

1. Open this repository in a Dev Container (VS Code, Codespaces, Podman Desktop, or Docker Desktop).
2. The container builds from nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest and starts Hermes with gateway run.
3. Hermes persistent data is stored in a named volume mounted at /opt/data.
4. The dashboard is enabled by default on port 9119.

Ports in Codespaces

• 9119 is the Hermes dashboard (web UI) and should open in preview.
• Dashboard basic auth is enabled by default:
  • username: hermes
  • password: hermes-devcontainer
• 8642 is the Hermes API port; opening the port root URL can return 404 by design.
• Use an API endpoint on 8642 (for example /health or /v1/...) instead of /.
• Port visibility is set to public in devcontainer.json for easier cross-device access in Codespaces.

Host services from inside the container

• Docker Desktop / Codespaces: use host.docker.internal
• Podman Desktop: use host.containers.internal

Both hostnames are mapped in the devcontainer run arguments.
