Hermes Wingtips #34: hermes proxy

your Nous Portal subscription can serve any other app that speaks the OpenAI API.

hermes proxy start runs a small local pass-through server. point the app at the address it prints, give it any placeholder API key and a model from your plan, and it will works.

in order to double check that the Portal login is ready, type hermes proxy status.

it serves the raw model, not your agent: if you want the whole agent (tools, memory, skills) behind an API, that is hermes serve.

this tips is for people using Open WebUI, Karakeep, or anything self-hosted that asks for an OpenAI key you did not want to buy!
