What is Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is an open-source project under the MIT license, developed by Nous Research. It combines a language model with real tools, such as a terminal, files, a browser, web search, memory and task scheduling.

You interact with it through the web dashboard, which includes a terminal in the browser, or through external channels such as Telegram, Discord, Slack and WhatsApp. The agent keeps what it learned from one session to the next and supports ready-made skills.

On this server, Hermes runs inside a Docker container. The commands it triggers stay confined there and do not reach the VPS operating system. The AI model is up to you: OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Gemini or any compatible service, using your own API key.

Frequently asked questions

Hermes Agent FAQ

What is Hermes Agent?

It is an open-source AI agent from Nous Research. Besides chatting, it runs commands, edits files, searches the web, keeps memory and runs scheduled tasks.

How much does Hermes Agent hosting cost?

At Mega Dedicados, a VPS with the app installed starts at US$ 11.95 per month on the Basic plan, the recommended one. Hermes itself is free; AI model usage is billed by the provider of your API key.

How much RAM does Hermes Agent need?

The app requires 1536 MB of free memory. At idle it uses about 550 MB, and each conversation open in the dashboard terminal adds about 300 MB, so Basic is the starting point.

Do I need an AI API key for self-hosted Hermes Agent?

Yes. On first login, open the Models section, choose your provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Gemini or compatible) and paste the key. Without it, the agent has no model to answer with.

Can Hermes Agent damage my server?

It runs in an isolated container, and the commands it executes stay inside that environment without reaching the VPS operating system. You still have root access via SSH to manage everything.

Can other people use my self-hosted Hermes Agent?

No. The dashboard requires a username and password, and channels like Telegram only respond to people you approve through pairing. Passwords are generated during installation and sent only to you.

Who updates Hermes Agent on my VPS?

The delivered version is fixed (0.21), so no update changes behavior without warning. You update whenever you want, using root access, preferably after testing.

Can I run other apps on the same VPS with Hermes Agent?

Yes, each with its own address, as long as the total fits in the plan's memory. Since Hermes already uses a fair amount, consider Plus or Pro if you want to combine several.
