ekko b9b99042a0 refactor(docker): merge two-container setup into single container (#657)
* refactor(docker): merge two-container setup into single container

The Web UI already manages the Hermes Agent gateway lifecycle internally
via GatewayManager (spawn hermes gateway run --replace), making the
separate hermes-agent container redundant. The Dockerfile is built on
the hermes-agent base image, so all CLI tooling is already included.

- Remove hermes-agent service and shared volume from docker-compose.yml
- Remove gateway port mapping (8642-8670) — internal-only now
- Update docs/docker.md, README.md, README_zh.md for single-container setup

* docs: remove version tag from image references

Use ekkoye8888/hermes-web-ui instead of ekkoye8888/hermes-web-ui:latest
to avoid pinning a specific version in documentation.

# Docker Compose Guide
This repository ships an environment-variable driven Docker Compose setup.
## Quick Start
### Pull pre-built image (Recommended)
```bash
WEBUI_IMAGE=ekkoye8888/hermes-web-ui docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f hermes-webui
```
Open: `http://localhost:6060`
### Build from source
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
docker compose logs -f hermes-webui
```
## Services
This compose file runs a single service:
- `hermes-webui` — Web UI dashboard with integrated Hermes Agent runtime (pre-built image or built from source)
The Web UI container is built on the `nousresearch/hermes-agent` base image and internally manages the Hermes Agent gateway lifecycle via `GatewayManager`.
## Environment Variables
All key runtime settings are configured from compose variables.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PORT` | `6060` | Web UI listen port |
| `BIND_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Optional Web UI bind host. Defaults to IPv4 for stable WSL/Windows access. Set `::` explicitly if you want IPv6 listening. |
| `HERMES_BIN` | `/opt/hermes/.venv/bin/hermes` | Path to Hermes CLI binary |
| `HERMES_AGENT_IMAGE` | `nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest` | Hermes Agent base image (used only during build) |
| `WEBUI_IMAGE` | `hermes-web-ui-local:latest` | Web UI image (set to `ekkoye8888/hermes-web-ui` to use pre-built) |
| `HERMES_DATA_DIR` | `./hermes_data` | Hermes runtime data directory |
| `AUTH_DISABLED` | `false` | Set to `true` to disable login authentication |
Override variables directly from shell:
```bash
PORT=16060 \
AUTH_DISABLED=true \
docker compose up -d
```
Or create a `.env` file in the project root:
```
WEBUI_IMAGE=ekkoye8888/hermes-web-ui
PORT=6060
AUTH_DISABLED=false
```
## Data Persistence
| Path | Description |
|---|---|
| `${HERMES_DATA_DIR}` (`./hermes_data`) | Hermes runtime data (sessions, config, profiles) |
| `${HERMES_DATA_DIR}/hermes-web-ui` | Web UI data (auth token, etc.) |
- Hermes data persists in `./hermes_data`, mapped to `/home/agent/.hermes` in the container.
- Web UI data persists in `./hermes_data/hermes-web-ui/`, mapped to `/home/agent/.hermes-web-ui` in the container.
- When `AUTH_DISABLED=false`, the auth token is auto-generated on first run and printed to container logs.
- Deleting the token file and restarting will generate a new one.
## Port Mapping
| Port | Description |
|---|---|
| `${PORT}` (6060) | Web UI dashboard |
Hermes Agent gateway ports (8642-8670) are used internally within the container and are not exposed to the host.
## Code Runtime Behavior
- Hermes CLI binary comes from `HERMES_BIN` env (`packages/server/src/services/hermes-cli.ts`).
- If `HERMES_BIN` is not provided, code falls back to `hermes` in `PATH`.
- Profile switching dynamically resolves upstream URLs via `GatewayManager`.
- The Web UI automatically starts and manages the Hermes Agent gateway process on startup.
## Common Operations
Recreate:
```bash
docker compose up -d --force-recreate
```
View auth token:
```bash
docker compose logs hermes-webui | grep token
# or
cat ./hermes_data/hermes-web-ui/.token
```
Stop:
```bash
docker compose down
```
