Hermes Gate

🏛️ Hermes Gate

[English](README.md) | [简体中文](README_ZH.md)

A feature-rich **terminal TUI** for remotely managing [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) tmux sessions on cloud servers — all from a single Docker container.

*"I love watching Hermes Agent work through a TUI — but mine runs on a remote cloud server, and my local network isn't always stable. When the connection drops mid-task, I have no idea if it's still running or already dead. An interrupted task means hours of wasted effort. Sure, I could manage it over raw tmux — but that's just typing the same boilerplate commands over and over. More time lost."*

**Note:** Hermes Gate is a companion tool for [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) ([Website](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/)), an open-source AI agent framework by NousResearch.

Why Hermes Gate?

**Lifecycle clarification:** Hermes Gate is a **temporary local client**. When you quit the TUI, the Docker container stops. Your remote tmux / Hermes Agent sessions on the server are **not affected** — they keep running. Just run `./run.sh` again to reconnect. Nothing is lost except the local container state.

Running Hermes Agent on a remote server usually means juggling SSH terminals, worrying about dropped connections, and manually managing tmux sessions. Hermes Gate solves all of that:

• Full TUI Experience — Browse servers, manage sessions, view live Hermes Agent output, and send prompts, all from an interactive terminal UI built with Textual. No raw SSH commands to remember.
• Network Status Monitoring — Real-time latency monitoring with TCP-level probing. Connection status is displayed in the TUI so you know when the remote server is reachable. Note: if your SSH session drops, you will need to re-enter the session manually.
• Session Persistence via tmux — Sessions run inside remote tmux, so your remote processes keep running even if you cl
