The fastest path:\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash\nhermes setup\n```\n\nThen pick a use case below. The [`/demos`](demos/) folder has three runnable starters: [Daily Briefing](demos/daily-briefing/), [Open WebUI](demos/openwebui/), and [Team Telegram](demos/team-telegram/).\n\n---\n\n## Deployment Patterns\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| [Hermes on Fly.io](usecases/hermes-on-flyio.md) | Official Fly-apps deployment guide — run Hermes as a Fly Machine with a volume-backed `/opt/data`, daily snapshots, and ~$15/month baseline. |\n| [Local & Proxy Model Backends](usecases/local-and-proxy-models.md) | Run Hermes against Ollama, vLLM, oMLX, or a custom OpenAI-compatible proxy — for cost control, data locality, or model choice beyond the defaults. |\n| [Local Model Auto-Detection](usecases/local-model-auto-detection.md) | Hermes probes your local inference server, identifies the running model, detects context window, and auto-configures — eliminates first-setup friction for Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX, and vLLM. |\n| [Headless Daemon Server](usecases/headless-daemon-server.md) | A self-managed Linux VPS pattern that runs Hermes gateway and native cron under `systemd` with a dedicated service user and reboot-safe scheduling. |\n| [Hermes + Browser Harness on Hostinger](usecases/hermes-browser-harness-hostinger.md) | A 10-minute copy-paste script (54★ gist) that wires Browser Use's Browser Harness as a Hermes skill on a consumer VPS — symlinked skill, OpenRouter, Browser Use Cloud free tier. |\n| [scicco/hermzner: Hardened Hermes on Hetzner](usecases/scicco-hermzner-hetzner.md) | Terraform + Ansible setup for a Hetzner VPS with rootless Podman, Tailscale-only network, UFW default-deny, read-only root FS, and pinned image digests. Production-grade, `nascent` (3★). |\n| [Enterprise Cloud (Bedrock / Azure AI Foundry / NVIDIA Build)](usecases/enterprise-cloud-deployment.md) | First-class provider IDs for the three major enterprise model gateways — Bedrock Converse API + Guardrails, Azure Foundry endpoint, NVIDIA NIM cloud or self-hosted. For regulated / procurement-constrained shops. |\n| [China-Region LLM Endpoints](usecases/china-region-llm-endpoints.md) | Dedicated China-facing provider IDs for Kimi/Moonshot, MiniMax, and z.ai/GLM — auto-probing endpoints, no hand-wired base URLs. Pair with Feishu/WeCom for a fully domestic stack. |\n| [Nous Portal Gateway](usecases/nous-portal-gateway.md) | The maintainers' recommended default — one OAuth login unlocks 300+ models plus a Tool Gateway (web search, image gen, TTS, browser) and Nous Chat. Scoped JWTs, no per-provider key juggling. |\n| [Coding-Tool Subscriptions as Backends (Copilot / Codex / Claude Max)](usecases/oauth-cloud-providers.md) | Reuse existing coding-tool subscriptions as Hermes model backends — Copilot direct + ACP, Codex device-code OAuth, Claude Max extra-usage OAuth — with native auth and 401 one-shot recovery. |\n| [Integrated Self-Hosted Hermes Stack](usecases/integrated-self-hosted-hermes-stack.md) | Bootstrap Hermes with model routing, local inference, search, vector memory, automation, notifications, observability, and monitoring through a tiered Docker stack. |\n| [Persistent Hermes on Hugging Face Spaces](usecases/hermes-on-hugging-face-spaces.md) | Deploy Hermes as a Space with a web dashboard and messaging gateway, synchronizing durable agent state to a private Hugging Face Dataset. |\n\n---\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE) for code and configs.
