Hermes Agent Railway Template

What Hermes Agent Railway Template does

Hermes Agent Railway Template deploys Hermes Agent on Railway using the official Nous Research image, the web dashboard and s6 process supervision. The Dockerfile is pinned to nousresearch/hermes-agent v2026.8.3, which the README identifies as Hermes Agent v0.20.0. A small compatibility entrypoint maps variables from earlier versions of this template, then hands control to the upstream /init process, so s6-overlay still supervises the gateway and dashboard.

The README lists the service settings: start command /usr/local/bin/hermes-railway-entrypoint gateway run, a volume mounted at /data, public port 8080, health-check path /api/status and one replica. Set PORT, ADMIN_USERNAME and ADMIN_PASSWORD; if no password is given it generates and logs one. Provider credentials, messaging channels, models, skills, profiles and gateway state are managed in the dashboard and stored under /data/.hermes. Upgrades are done by editing the pinned release and digest in the Dockerfile.
