Hermes Agent hosting Beta

Hermes Agent hosting, on a server of its own.

Q: Which AI providers can I use?

You bring your own key. Common ones are OPENROUTER_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY, with OPENAI_BASE_URL for compatible services, and you can add other names too.

Hermes Agent, by Nous Research, is a task agent with tools and a scheduler that you can reach from your messaging apps. Netkeel installs it on a private cloud server, puts its dashboard behind a password and keeps it running, backed up and updated.

How it works

Hermes Agent live in three steps.

STEP 1

Create a Hermes Agent server

Choose Hermes Agent and a size with at least 2 GB of memory. The server runs one agent.

2 GB or more

STEP 2

This website is the agent's dashboard, on your domain or a preview address. Netkeel sets the agent up in a few minutes.

STEP 3

Add your keys

Add your AI provider's key, a messaging app's bot token and the people allowed to use it, then open the dashboard.

TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS

What you get

What Netkeel does for Hermes Agent.

Set up for youHermes Agent installed and started on its own server, with nothing to configure by hand.

A dashboard behind a passwordA site password in front of the dashboard, plus the agent's own sign-in.

Keys and settingsAdd API keys and bot tokens in the panel. Saved values are never shown again, and saving restarts the agent.

Only the people you chooseEach messaging app token needs a list of the people allowed to use it, or the panel won't save it.

Start, stop and restartStatus, uptime, restarts and health in the panel, with the agent's recent log.

Updates with a safety netA backup first. If the new version does not start within two minutes, the previous version and its data are put back.

New credentialsGenerate new sign-in details in one click; your keys and data are kept.

Daily backupsThe agent's data is backed up every day, with encrypted off-site copies.

On every server too: a firewall with automatic banning, free SSL, logs, monitoring and alerts, and team access with roles. See all features →

Good to know

What is not available.

Running a scheduled job right away from the dashboard doesn't work (jobs still run on their schedule), the local browser tool isn't installed, and Hermes Agent's own update command is replaced by updates from the panel. Staging, cloning and moving are not available for an agent's website. Set a spending limit on your AI provider keys.

Step-by-step guides are in the Hermes Agent docs.

Pricing

Pay for the server, not for each site.

Hermes Agent needs a server with at least 2 GB of memory: a 2 GB Standard server on Vultr is $19/mo, billed by the hour and never more than the monthly price. Each Hermes Agent server runs one agent.

Questions

Hermes Agent hosting, answered.

Which AI providers can I use?

You bring your own key. Common ones are OPENROUTER_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY, with OPENAI_BASE_URL for compatible services, and you can add other names too.

How do I choose who can talk to the agent?

Each bot token needs an allow list: for example, put your Telegram user ID in TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS, or use GATEWAY_ALLOWED_USERS for every app.

Does the price include AI usage?

No. Netkeel bills you for the server; your AI provider bills you for what the agent uses with your key. Set a spending limit on each key with your provider.

How is Hermes Agent updated?

From the panel. When a newer version is offered, click Update: Netkeel takes a backup, restarts the agent on the new version and puts the old one back if it does not start within two minutes.

What does beta mean?

Hermes Agent hosting is new on Netkeel. The agent is backed up, updated and looked after for you, but a few of its features, such as running a scheduled job right away from the dashboard, do not work on Netkeel yet.
