Hermes Web UI
中文
A full-featured web dashboard for Hermes Agent.
Manage AI chat sessions, monitor usage & costs, configure platform channels,
schedule cron jobs, browse skills — all from a clean, responsive web interface.
npm install -g hermes-web-ui && hermes-web-ui start

## Features
### AI Chat
- Real-time chat streaming over Socket.IO `/chat-run`; chat runs execute through the Hermes agent bridge
- Multi-session management — create, rename, delete, switch between sessions
- **Self-built session database** — local SQLite storage for Web UI sessions; Hermes state.db remains a read-only source for Hermes history APIs
- Session grouping by source (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) with collapsible accordion
- Active session indicator — live sessions pin to top with spinner icon
- Sessions sorted by latest message time
- Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting and code copy
- Tool call detail expansion (arguments / result)
- File upload support
- File download support — download user-uploaded files and agent-generated files across local, Docker, SSH, and Singularity backends
- Session search — Ctrl+K search across the Web UI local session database; read-only Hermes history sessions are not included
- Global model selector — discovers models from `~/.hermes/auth.json` credential pool
- Per-session model display badge and context token usage
### Platform Channels
Unified configuration for **8 platforms** in one page:
| Platform | Features |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Telegram | Bot token, mention control, reactions, free-response chats |
| Discord | Bot token, mention, auto-thread, reactions, channel allow/ignore lists |
| Slack | Bot token, mention control, bot message handling |
| WhatsApp | Enable/disable, mention control, mention patterns |
| Matrix | Access token, homeserver, auto-thread, DM mention threads |
| Feishu (Lark) | App ID / Secret, mention control |

## Quick Start
### npm (Recommended)
```bash
npm install -g hermes-web-ui
hermes-web-ui start
```
Open **http://localhost:8648**
### One-line Setup (Auto-detect OS)
Automatically installs Node.js (if missing) and hermes-web-ui on Debian/Ubuntu/macOS:
```bash
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EKKOLearnAI/hermes-web-ui/main/scripts/setup.sh)
```
### WSL
```bash
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EKKOLearnAI/hermes-web-ui/main/scripts/setup.sh)
hermes-web-ui start
```
> WSL uses the same Web UI daemon startup flow as other local installs; no separate gateway service is started by Web UI.
### Docker Compose
Single-container deployment with integrated Hermes Agent:
```bash
# Use pre-built image (Recommended)
WEBUI_IMAGE=ekkoye8888/hermes-web-ui docker compose up -d
# Or build from source
docker compose up -d --build
docker compose logs -f hermes-webui
```
Open **http://localhost:6060**
- Persistent Hermes data is stored in `./hermes_data`
- Web UI auth token is stored in `./hermes_data/hermes-web-ui/.token`
- On first run with auth enabled, the token is printed to container logs
- All runtime settings are environment-variable driven in `docker-compose.yml`
For detailed notes and troubleshooting, see [`docs/docker.md`](./docs/docker.md).
### Hermes Agent Runtime Discovery
When Web UI starts backend chat features, it prefers a source checkout that
contains `run_agent.py` such as `~/.hermes/hermes-agent`. If no source checkout
is found, it falls back to the Python environment used by the installed
`hermes` command, then the system Python. This supports both source installs
and package installs such as `pip install hermes-agent`.
## Web UI Environment Variables
These variables configure Hermes Web UI itself. Provider API keys and Hermes Agent settings are managed separately through Hermes profiles.
| Variable | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `PORT` | `8648` | Web UI listen port. |
| `BIND_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Web UI bind host. Set `::` explicitly for IPv6. |
| `HERMES_WEB_UI_HOME` | `~/.hermes-web-ui` | Web UI data home for auth token, credentials, logs, DB, and default uploads. `HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR` is also supported as a compatibility alias. |
| `UPLOAD_DIR` | `$HERMES_WEB_UI_HOME/upload` | Upload directory override. |
| `CORS_ORIGINS` | `*` | Koa CORS origin setting. |
| `AUTH_DISABLED` | unset | Set to `1` or `true` to disable Web UI auth. |
| `AUTH_TOKEN` | auto-generated | Explicit bearer token. If unset, Web UI creates one under `HERMES_WEB_UI_HOME`. |
| `PROFILE` | `default` | Initial Hermes profile name. |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | Server log level. |
| `BRIDGE_LOG_LEVEL` | `$LOG_LEVEL` or `info` | Bridge log level. |
| `MAX_DOWNLOAD_SIZE` | `200MB` | Maximum file download size. |
| `MAX_EDIT_SIZE` | `10MB` | Maximum editable file size. |
| `WORKSPACE_BASE` | `/opt/data/workspace` | Base directory for workspace browsing. |
### CLI Commands
| Command | Description |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `hermes-web-ui start` | Start in background (daemon mode) |
| `hermes-web-ui start --port 9000` | Start on custom port |
| `hermes-web-ui stop` | Stop background process |
| `hermes-web-ui restart` | Restart background process |
| `hermes-web-ui status` | Check if running |
| `hermes-web-ui update` | Update to latest version & restart |
| `hermes-web-ui upgrade` | Alias for `update` |
| `hermes-web-ui -v` | Show version number |
| `hermes-web-ui -h` | Show help message |
`update` / `upgrade` first attempt `npm cache clean --force`, then run `npm install -g hermes-web-ui@latest` and restart. Cache cleanup is best-effort; if it fails, the updater continues with the install.
### Auto Configuration
On startup the BFF server automatically:
- Initializes Web UI data directories, local databases, and bundled skills
- Starts the Hermes agent bridge used by `/chat-run`
- Opens browser on successful startup

## Development
```bash
git clone https://github.com/EKKOLearnAI/hermes-web-ui.git
cd hermes-web-ui
npm install
npm run dev
```
- Frontend: http://localhost:5173
- BFF Server: http://localhost:8648
```bash
npm run build # outputs to dist/
```
See [DEVELOPMENT.md](./DEVELOPMENT.md) for project development guidelines.
## Architecture
```
Browser → BFF (Koa, :8648) → Socket.IO /chat-run
↓
Hermes agent bridge → Hermes Agent runtime
↓
Hermes CLI / profiles
~/.hermes/config.yaml (channel behavior)
~/.hermes/auth.json (credential pool)
Tencent iLink API (WeChat QR login)
```
The frontend is designed with **multi-agent extensibility** — all Hermes-specific code is namespaced under `hermes/` directories (API, components, views, stores), making it straightforward to add new agent integrations alongside.
The BFF layer handles Socket.IO chat streaming, the Hermes agent bridge, file upload and download (multi-backend: local/Docker/SSH/Singularity), session CRUD, config/credential management, WeChat QR login, model discovery, skills/memory management, log reading, and static file serving.
## Tech Stack
**Frontend:** Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vite + Naive UI + Pinia + Vue Router + vue-i18n + SCSS + markdown-it + highlight.js
**Backend:** Koa 2 (BFF server) + node-pty (web terminal)
