# Two-container Docker Compose: Hermes Agent + Hermes WebUI # # This runs the agent and web UI in separate containers connected via # shared volumes. The WebUI installs the agent's Python dependencies # at startup from the shared agent source volume. # # Usage: # docker compose -f docker-compose.two-container.yml up -d # # The agent container runs the gateway (CLI, Telegram, cron, etc.). # The WebUI container serves the browser interface on port 8787. # Both share ~/.hermes for config, sessions, and state. services: hermes-agent: image: nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest container_name: hermes-agent command: gateway run ports: # Gateway API — exposed on localhost only. # Other containers on hermes-net reach it via http://hermes-agent:8642. # Remove 127.0.0.1: to expose on the host network (e.g. for remote clients). - "127.0.0.1:8642:8642" volumes: # Persist config, state, sessions, skills, memory across restarts - hermes-home:/root/.hermes # Expose agent source so the WebUI can install dependencies from it - hermes-agent-src:/opt/hermes environment: - HERMES_HOME=/root/.hermes restart: unless-stopped networks: - hermes-net hermes-webui: image: ghcr.io/nesquena/hermes-webui:latest container_name: hermes-webui depends_on: - hermes-agent ports: - "127.0.0.1:8787:8787" volumes: # Same hermes home as the agent — shares config, sessions, state - hermes-home:/home/hermeswebui/.hermes # Agent source mounted where docker_init.bash expects it. # At startup the init script runs: # uv pip install /home/hermeswebui/.hermes/hermes-agent # which installs the agent and all its Python dependencies. - hermes-agent-src:/home/hermeswebui/.hermes/hermes-agent # Workspace directory — browse and edit files from the WebUI. # Adapt the host path to your project directory. # Override with: HERMES_WORKSPACE=/your/path docker compose up - ${HERMES_WORKSPACE:-~/workspace}:/workspace environment: - HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0 - HERMES_WEBUI_PORT=8787 - HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR=/home/hermeswebui/.hermes/webui # Match your host user's UID/GID for correct file permissions. # In two-container setups the WebUI auto-detects UID/GID from the shared # hermes-home volume, but you can override explicitly if needed (#668): # Run `id -u` and `id -g` to find your values. # On macOS, UIDs start at 501 — set these in a .env file: # echo "UID=$(id -u)" >> .env && echo "GID=$(id -g)" >> .env - WANTED_UID=${UID:-1000} - WANTED_GID=${GID:-1000} # Optional: set a password for remote access # - HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD=*** restart: unless-stopped networks: - hermes-net networks: hermes-net: driver: bridge volumes: hermes-home: hermes-agent-src:
