Hermes Agent

Thank you @andreasdueren Andreas for maintaining Hermes. It's a fascinating software.

We are having some difficulty reaching the /kanban/ dashboard.
If possible please forward the steps that you have made to achieve that outcome.

These are our steps:

1. Open a new web browser (allowed third-party cookies)
2. Go at: https://url.com/kanban/
3. Enter the Cloudron user credentials
4. Redirected at: https://url.com/login?redirect=/kanban/
5. Click again: Log in
6. The web browser window refreshes and nothing happens.

From our research, it looks like the Cloudron login system doesn't allow the redirection successfully.

Looks like that for the past 4 days Andreas has been busy.

Has anybody been successful with the setup of the Kanban dashboard?

I have the desktop version on MacOS and it's not on by default.

There are gw commands to initialize it: hermes kanban init but after I got an error from the port it was configured on.

I had the same issue with the app package as you did, the auth doesn't take. Not sure if there's a way to create a local user in the meantime.

There are many other dashboard out there already though, see https://www.bitdoze.com/best-hermes-dashboards/ for their breakdown.

@creative567145 Sorry about that I was traveling, looking into this now.

@creative567145 @robi

Just pushed an app update, this should resolve, the kanban issues.

Not sure where we should post about community packages, so I'm hijacking this topic

First of all, thanks for the package @andreasdueren!

Quick question: did you try/manage to connect to an encrypted Matrix channel? Is it possible that we're missing the mautrix[encryption] package?

[andreasdueren]

@msbt

I haven’t fully tested an encrypted Matrix room yet, but I checked the Cloudron image and it does not look like mautrix[encryption] is missing. The package installs Hermes with the matrix extra, and in the pinned upstream version that resolves to mautrix[encryption]==0.21.0. I also checked the running container: mautrix 0.21.0 is installed, olm imports successfully, and the native _libolm.abi3.so from python-olm is present.

So if E2EE is failing, the next thing to check is probably Matrix E2EE configuration/key state rather than missing dependencies: MATRIX_E2EE_MODE / MATRIX_ENCRYPTION, stable MATRIX_DEVICE_ID, crypto store state, recovery key/cross-signing, and the gateway logs. I used to run hermes (locally, not on cloudron) with encrypted Matrix but ended up migrating to Telegram for features and ease of reliability. Encryption with Matrix for these things is a mess to set up.

@andreasdueren thanks, I finally got it to work with private messages, channels seems to be more difficult. Howevery, I also opted for the telegram option, less hassle
