Deploy and Host Hermes All-in-One | WebUI + Admin Panel + Gateway - No Terminal Setup on Railway

About Hosting Hermes All-in-One | WebUI + Admin Panel + Gateway - No Terminal Setup

This template packages NousResearch's Hermes Agent, its WebUI, and a custom admin control plane into a single Railway service. Everything is configured from /admin in the browser — no SSH, no terminal, no manual config files. A persistent volume at /data stores all agent memory, skills, credentials, and conversation history across deploys. The WebUI at / and Telegram gateway share one agent identity: same memory, same skills, same personality across every surface. The gateway autostarts automatically once a provider and channel credential are configured.

Common Use Cases

• Personal AI assistant — chat via Telegram on your phone and WebUI in the browser, same agent brain on both
• Scheduled automations — daily briefings, job search digests, RSS feeds, price monitors delivered to Telegram
• Self-improving agent — Hermes creates skills from experience after complex tasks, getting faster at your workflows over time

3. Open /admin → Providers → paste your API key → Save
