About Hosting Hermes Agent — Official Nous Research Image

Hosting Hermes Agent on Railway provides a simple deployment path for running a self-hosted AI agent environment in the cloud. This template uses the official Nous Research Docker image and includes persistent storage so your agent configuration, memory, sessions, logs, and runtime data can remain available across redeployments.

Once deployed, you can open the generated Railway URL and access the Hermes Agent interface directly from your browser. From there, you can configure providers, manage agent settings, monitor activity, and control the gateway status.

If the gateway status appears off when you first open the dashboard, click Restart Gateway in the bottom-left corner of the interface. After restarting, the gateway status should change to running.
