+# [[Hermes Ai autonomous Agent]]
+
+# Hermes Agent — Local Setup Overview
+
+## What is it?
+
+- **Open-source autonomous AI agent** by Nous Research (MIT license, ~150K GitHub stars)
+- Runs **on your own hardware** — not a cloud service
+- You talk to it via **Telegram, Discord, Slack, terminal TUI, or web dashboard**
+- **Self-improving** — saves workflows as reusable "skills" (markdown files) you can read and edit
+- Integrates with: Gmail, Google Calendar, Home Assistant, Obsidian, email, browser automation, cron scheduling
+
+---
+
+## What I can use it for
+
+### Daily personal
+- Morning briefings (email + calendar + tasks → Telegram)
+- Email triage and draft responses
+- Calendar management via chat
+- Home Assistant control (lights, climate, sensors, automations)
+- Task tracking (Todoist, Obsidian tasks)
+
+### Scheduled automations (cron)
+- Daily/weekly research summaries
+- Server monitoring (logs, disk, uptime) with alerts
+- Backup reminders and health checks
+- Regular file cleanup and organization
+
+### DevOps & infrastructure
+- Remote server management via SSH
+- Log review and anomaly detection
+- Automated reports delivered to messaging apps
+
+### Information
+- Web research and synthesis
+- Obsidian vault search and management
+- Multi-source summarization
+
+---
+
+## My setup
+
+### Machines
+- **.27** — Desktop/dev machine, turns off most nights
+- **.13** — Stays on 24/7 (server/NAS)
+
+### Architecture decision
+- Run Hermes on **.13** (always-on) as the **primary instance**
+  - This is where cron jobs, scheduled tasks, and the gateway live
+  - It's running 24/7 so automations fire reliably
+- Access from **.27** and other machines via:
+  - **Telegram** (phone, any machine)
+  - **Web dashboard** (`http://[.13-ip]:9119`)
+  - **Terminal TUI** via SSH into .13
+- If .13 has low RAM: use **cloud model API** (OpenRouter free tier, Anthropic API) instead of local model
+- If .13 has 8GB+ RAM: can run **8B local models** via Ollama for privacy
+
+### Model options
+| Approach | Cost | Privacy | Speed | Requirements |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| OpenRouter free tier | $0 | Medium | Fast | Internet |
+| OpenRouter paid | ~$5-10/mo | Medium | Fast | Internet |
+| Anthropic API (Claude) | ~$5-15/mo | Low | Fast | Internet |
+| Local model via Ollama | $0 (hardware) | **High** | 2-10 t/s on CPU | 8GB+ RAM, 4+ cores |
+| Local model + GPU | $0 (hardware) | **High** | 30-100+ t/s | NVIDIA GPU with 8GB+ VRAM |
+
+---
+
+## Installation — NixOS Container Mode (Method 3)
+
+**Why container mode:**
+- `NoNewPrivileges`, `ProtectSystem=strict`, `PrivateTmp` — systemd hardening
+- Agent runs in Ubuntu container, **can't touch host filesystem** unless you mount volumes
+- Can install packages inside container via `apt`/`pip`/`npm`
+- Declarative in `configuration.nix` — reproducible
+
+**NixOS config (.13):**
+```nix
+services.hermes-agent = {
+  enable = true;
+  container.enable = true;
+  # environmentFile for secrets (sops-nix or agenix recommended)
+};
+```
+
+**Three integration levels (pick one):**
+
+| Level | Use case | Config location |
+|---|---|---|
+| `nix run` / `nix profile install` | Quick try, any Nix user | `~/.hermes/` |
+| **NixOS module (native)** | Standard deployment, highest security | `configuration.nix` |
+| **NixOS module (container)** | **Chosen method** — isolation + flexibility | `configuration.nix` |
+
+---
+
+## Security & access control
+
+- **Dedicated `hermes` user** — can't access your files
+- **Container isolation** — commands run inside Docker container, not host
+- **Secrets via sops-nix/agenix** — API keys not stored in plain text
+- **Sandbox terminal backend** — optional Docker per-command isolation
+- **Credential files** mounted read-only into container only when needed
+- Hermes has **no built-in sandbox** — the NixOS container mode is what provides this
+
+### Filesystem access
+- Hermes only sees what you explicitly give it
+- Mount specific folders read-only if needed for a skill/project
+- Without explicit mounts, container has zero host access
+
+---
+
+## Credentials & secrets
+
+- API keys → `~/.hermes/.env` (or sops-nix/agenix on NixOS)
+- Google OAuth (Gmail/Calendar/Drive) — interactive setup via `hermes model`, stores `google_token.json` and `google_secret.json`
+- Home Assistant → Long-Lived Access Token in `.env` as `HASS_TOKEN`
+- Telegram bot → Bot token in `.env`
+
+---
+
+## Workflow management
+
+### Create automations
+- **Plain English** — "every day at 9am, check my email and summarize"
+- **CLI** — `hermes cron create "every 1d at 09:00" "Summarize overnight emails"`
+- **From chat** — `/cron list`, `/cron pause <id>`, `/cron run <id>`
+
+### Review existing workflows
+- `hermes cron list` — all scheduled jobs
+- `~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json` — job definitions
+- `~/.hermes/cron/output/` — output from each run
+
+### Skills (workflows as .md files)
+- **`~/.hermes/skills/`** — all skills live here
+- Agent **creates skills from your conversations** automatically
+- 118 bundled skills out of the box (GitHub, Google Workspace, Obsidian, etc.)
+- 500+ community skills in the [Skills Hub](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com)
+- Each skill is a readable `SKILL.md` file — you can review, edit, delete

+
+## First steps after install
+
+1. Run `hermes setup` — configure model provider
+2. Add Telegram bot token to `.env` and run `hermes gateway`
+3. Set up Google Workspace skill for email/calendar
+4. Add Home Assistant token for smart home control
+5. Set your first cron job: "every day at 9am, send me a briefing"
+6. Create `AGENTS.md` in project folders for per-project instructions
+7. Review what the agent has learned: check `~/.hermes/skills/` regularly
