Two local runtimes
Start Hermes in a sandboxed kind cluster or use the Docker Compose fallback when Kubernetes is not needed.
Run Nous Research Hermes Agent as a kind Pod or Docker Compose service, expose the gateway on localhost, and delegate bounded tasks through an OpenAI-compatible wrapper.
Hermes Agent Pod packages a reproducible local runtime around nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest. It is meant for development and delegation experiments where Codex remains the lead agent and Hermes answers bounded worker tasks through a localhost API.
| Surface | Address | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Gateway API | http://127.0.0.1:8642 | OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint |
| Dashboard | http://127.0.0.1:9119 | Hermes dashboard and TUI surface |
| kind namespace | sandbox-hermes | Kubernetes resources for the Pod runtime |
| Compose service | sandbox-hermes-agent | Docker fallback runtime |
Start with Getting Started, then review Usage for worker delegation patterns.
