Hermes Agent in Docker

July 8, 2026 · 4 min read

Benefits

✅ Isolation from host system
✅ Reproducible environment
✅ One command start/stop
✅ Persistent data via volumes

docker-compose.yml

services:
  hermes:
    image: hermes-agent:latest
    volumes:
      - ./hermes-data:/root/.hermes
    environment:
      - OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
    restart: unless-stopped

🔒 Never put API keys directly in docker-compose.yml — use a .env file or Docker secrets.
