hermes-ui

The official Hermes Desktop renderer, extracted from the hermes-agent monorepo (apps/desktop) and repackaged as a plain Vite web app — runs in a browser instead of Electron.

Deployments

Host	Location	Port	Status	Started
CT460 (this box)	/home/hermes/hermes-ui/	5174	Vite dev server	Active
CT450 (hermesagent)	/home/hermes/hermes-ui/	5174	Vite dev server	Active (since 2026-07-30)

How It Works

• Runs as a Vite dev server, proxying REST/auth/WebSocket to a running Hermes gateway (http://127.0.0.1:9119 by default).
• Same-origin proxy via Vite so cookies and the WebSocket work without CORS issues.
• Electron-only methods are stubbed behind a capability flag in src/web-bridge/.

Quick Start

# Install deps (uses bun)
cd ~/hermes-ui/app && bun install

# Start dev server
cd ~/hermes-ui && bin/dev

# Or skip bin/dev and run vite directly:
bunx vite --port 5174 --host 0.0.0.0
