Why Hermes Runs as a Persistent Private Runtime
A continuously running Hermes container keeps conversations and scheduled work available without provisioning a new environment for every message.
Short-lived execution environments are a poor fit for an assistant that needs channels, schedules, and durable local state. Rebuilding an environment for every message adds latency and makes long-running work harder to manage.
MyHermes provisions one private Docker container per subscribed user. After onboarding completes, that Hermes runtime stays available for web chat, Telegram, WhatsApp, Kanban work, cron jobs, and memory. CPU, memory, process, and storage limits are enforced according to the user's plan.
Stop fighting your infrastructure.
Provision and configure your private hosted Hermes runtime.
