README

hermes-on-digitalocean

A Claude Code / agent-skills compatible skill for deploying a [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) to a DigitalOcean droplet so it runs 24/7 with messaging-platform access.

Covers:

  • Provisioning via doctl
  • Python 3.11 bootstrap on Ubuntu 24.04 (without deadsnakes)
  • Non-interactive Hermes install
  • Profile creation + workspace-repo symlink pattern
  • Credential migration from a laptop install
  • OAuth callback caveats (Codex)
  • Gateway as a systemd service with linger

The skill is grounded in a real deploy — every gotcha listed actually happened.
