Hermes Agent Walkthrough

Using Hermes Agent is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to get started.

DIY Approach

What If You Don't Have Hermes Agent?

Before Hermes Agent, this is what server management looked like. Spoiler: it wasn't fun.

SSH into your server

First, open your terminal and connect to your VPS.

terminal

ssh root@your-server-ip

Clone your repository

Navigate to your apps directory and clone the repo.

terminal

cd /opt/apps
git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git
cd your-repo

Create environment file

Manually create and configure your .env file.

terminal

nano .env
# Add all your environment variables one by one
# DATABASE_URL=...
# API_KEY=...
# SECRET_KEY=...

One wrong character and your app won't start. No validation, no hints.

Build the Docker image

Build your application image from the Dockerfile.

terminal

docker build -t myapp:latest .
# Wait 5-15 minutes...
# Hope there are no build errors...

Write docker-compose.yml

Manually write your compose configuration.

terminal

nano docker-compose.yml
# services:
#   app:
#     image: myapp:latest
#     ports:
#       - "3000:3000"
#     environment:
#       - NODE_ENV=production
#     restart: unless-stopped

Deploy the container

Start the container and pray it works.

terminal

docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f
# Ctrl+C when you're tired of watching logs
