4 use cases

  • Connect your Android phone to your own Hermes agent

    Run one setup command on your computer, then scan a code in Console to reach your agent from your phone.

    View prompt
    For the repo xP3ta/hermes-console, run the Dashboard setup command from the xP3ta/hermes-setup README on <target host> and report the address, username and QR code it prints. Verify that http://<target host>:9119 returns the Dashboard sign-in page before telling the user to connect Console.

  • Follow the agent's work and cron jobs from your phone

    See the reasoning, tools and tasks behind each reply, and check scheduled jobs, while away from your desk.

    View prompt
    Using the xP3ta/hermes-console app, connect to the Dashboard at <dashboard address> and list the cron jobs and tasks shown in the app. Expected output: a short list of job names with their status. Verify that the list matches what the Dashboard shows in a browser.

  • Close the old Gateway port left open by a previous setup

    Remove the network exposure from an older helper so only the Dashboard stays reachable from your phone.

    View prompt
    In the xP3ta/hermes-console setup, run the retire-gateway-exposure option from the xP3ta/hermes-setup helper on <target host>, keeping the API_SERVER_KEY. Expected output: a message that the Gateway exposure was undone. Verify that Console on every phone still connects to the Dashboard before removing anything else.

  • Get back into Console after losing the Dashboard password

    Generate a new Dashboard password, which also ends old sessions, and reconnect Console with it.

    View prompt
    For the xP3ta/hermes-console setup, run the new-access option of the xP3ta/hermes-setup Dashboard helper on <target host>. Expected output: a new username and password for the Dashboard. Verify that the Dashboard sign-in page accepts the new password at http://<target host>:9119 before reporting success.
