Open-source Hermes-Grok bridge wires Hermes Agent into Grokbot over Tailscale
GrowthHackingEU · x · 2026-09-19
A developer open-sourced hermes-grok-bridge, a project that plugs Nous Research's Hermes Agent into the Grokbot app frontend over a private network (Tailscale), with two wiring methods:
- Hermes SSH Relay: for desktop-primary setups without an API gateway; simplest path via SSH ask-relay, at the cost of an extra hop.
- Hermes API Fleet: native API on port 8642 behind a gateway, better for parallel fleet asks with less hop overhead.
Both ship as Grokbot Marketplace templates, enabling you to chat with Hermes brains running on your Mac from the Grokbot UI, run per-host identity bots, and orchestrate across a Hermes fleet. Security guidance: private-net only (no Funnel/public binds), and secrets stay in your env or secret manager — never in the repo.
