Setting up Hermes Agent in Docker on macOS

 These are my notes:

Setup

# Install Docker and the Colima container runtime

brew install docker colima

# Start the runtime

colima start

(Note, I had to run: colima stop -f ; colima delete — then run Colima start again)

# create docker image:

docker run -d \\n -v "$(pwd):/workspace" \\n -v ollama_data:/root/.ollama \\n -p 11434:11434 \\n --name ollama-dev \\n ollama/ollama:0.21.0\n

docker exec -it ollama-dev ollama pull glm-5.1:cloud

docker exec -u 0 -it ollama-dev sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get install -y emacs-nox"

docker exec -it \

  --env OLLAMA_API_KEY=$OLLAMA_API_KEY \

  ollama-dev sh -c 'export PATH="/root/.local/bin:$PATH" && ollama launch hermes --yes'

Bash shell:

docker exec -it ollama-dev bash

# cd root

# ls -a

.  ..  .bash_history  .bashrc  .cache  .config  .hermes  .local  .npm  .ollama  .profile  .ssh  .zshrc

# pwd

/root

Run Hermes Agent

docker exec -it \

  --env OLLAMA_API_KEY=$OLLAMA_API_KEY \

  ollama-dev sh -c 'export PATH="/root/.local/bin:$PATH" && ollama launch hermes --yes'

Setup Aliases

alias docker_hermes="docker exec -it --env OLLAMA_API_KEY=$OLLAMA_API_KEY ollama-dev sh -c 'export PATH="/root/.local/bin:$PATH" && ollama launch hermes --yes'"

alias docker_bash="docker exec -it ollama-dev bash"
