## Quick start

New to Hermes Agent? The fastest path:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
hermes setup
```

Then 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/).

## Deployment Patterns

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [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. |
| [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. |
| [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. |
| [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. |
| [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. |
| [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★). |
| [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. |
| [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. |
| [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. |
| [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. |
