Port the sweeping highlight from the prototype: a 38%-wide white band travels left to right on a 3.4s loop, idle for the first 62% so it reads as an occasional flare rather than a constant shimmer. The tube mixes now clip overflow so the band stays inside the button, and the loading state suppresses it in favour of the existing pulse. Drop the masked grid and scanline from the login page — low-contrast texture behind a credential form makes the text harder to read. Only the IsometricWave remains. Brighten input text to near-white and bump it to 14.5px; Arco's default --color-text-1 sits too dark on the recessed input fill. Avoid -webkit-text-fill-color, which would defeat the password field's masking.
hermes-ui
Self-hosted web dashboard for Hermes Agent — chat, session history, skills, MCP servers, model management, IM channels, file management, and usage analytics in one browser UI.
This project is under active rebuild. Feature work is being staged phase by phase; see
docs/phases/README.mdfor the current plan.
Prerequisites
hermes-ui runs as a plain Node.js server. It does not bundle a runtime.
- Node.js
>=23 - Python with
hermes-agentinstalled
Install hermes-agent, then either put hermes on your PATH or point HERMES_BIN at the
executable:
export HERMES_BIN=/path/to/hermes
If the CLI cannot be found, the UI shows an install hint instead of failing silently.
Getting Started
npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm run build
npm start
Then open http://localhost:8648 and log in with the default credentials printed on first start.
For development with hot reload:
npm run dev
The client runs on http://localhost:8649 and the Koa server on port 8647.
Layout
packages/client Vue 3 client: views, components, Pinia stores, i18n, API helpers
packages/server Koa API, Socket.IO chat runtime, SQLite stores, Hermes integration
packages/skills Built-in skills injected into the Hermes skills directory
tests Vitest unit/integration tests and Playwright browser tests
scripts Build and repository harness scripts
docs Architecture, harness docs, and the phased build plan
Docker
docker compose up -d
The image is based on nousresearch/hermes-agent, so Python and the Hermes CLI are already
present in the container.
Configuration
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
HERMES_BIN |
Path to the hermes executable. Falls back to hermes on PATH. |
HERMES_HOME |
Hermes profile directory. Used to isolate profiles. |
HERMES_WEB_UI_HOME |
Web UI state directory. Defaults to ~/.hermes-web-ui. |
HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR |
Alternate override for the Web UI state directory. |
PORT |
Server port. |
The HERMES_WEB_UI_* prefixes and the ~/.hermes-web-ui data directory are kept from the
0.6.x line on purpose, so existing deployments and data directories keep working.
