SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Modify the s6-overlay supervision tree inside Hermes Agent Docker images to add robustness and control over container startup and gateway orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add, modify, and tune static services supervised by s6-overlay to ensure per-container reliability.
  • Diagnose gateway startup, restart, and lifecycle issues across profiles, and adjust boot sequences.
  • Understand Architecture B pattern (CMD as main program with selective supervision) to optimize container workflows.

Quick Start

Load this skill to inspect and tweak the s6-overlay supervision for Hermes Agent containers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add and supervise static services in a Docker container using s6-overlay?

To add and supervise static services in a Docker container, modify the s6-overlay supervision tree to register new services, ensuring per-container reliability and controlled startup orchestration for your Hermes Agent profiles.

Why does my Hermes gateway service fail to start during the container boot sequence?

Gateway service startup failures during the container boot sequence often stem from misconfigured s6-overlay supervision trees or incorrect boot order dependencies, requiring you to diagnose and adjust the per-profile gateway lifecycle.

What is the Architecture B pattern for running Hermes Agent in containerized environments?

The Architecture B pattern runs the main program as the Docker CMD with selective supervision, optimizing container workflows by allowing the Hermes Agent to manage specific gateway services through s6-overlay rather than supervising the entire process.

Do I need to understand Docker and s6-overlay concepts to troubleshoot Hermes container profiles?

Yes, troubleshooting Hermes container profiles requires familiarity with Docker, s6-overlay supervision concepts, container boot workflows, and the Hermes profile gateway lifecycle to effectively diagnose and debug service restart and lifecycle issues.

Can I tune the boot sequence for per-profile gateway services inside a Hermes Docker image?

Yes, you can tune the boot sequence for per-profile gateway services by modifying the s6-overlay supervision tree inside the Hermes Agent Docker image, adjusting the startup and restart behaviors to achieve robust gateway orchestration.

What is the best way to debug s6-overlay supervision tree issues across multiple Hermes profiles?

The best way to debug s6-overlay supervision tree issues across multiple Hermes profiles is to inspect the container boot workflows and diagnose the gateway lifecycle dependencies, modifying static service definitions to resolve restart failures.
