This Skill removes the risk and manual effort from upgrading a self-hosted Hermes agent on a remote VPS, so you can move to a new version without breaking the gateway or losing wiring.
Ask the AI to update the Hermes agent on your VPS to the target version, back it up first, reload the gateway, and verify that all wired platforms still respond.

To safely update a self-hosted Hermes agent on a VPS, you need an SSH-based workflow that creates a backup, pins the target version, and reloads the gateway. This ensures the update does not break existing wiring or platform integrations.
The best way to rollback a failed Hermes deployment is to use a workflow that creates a backup before applying changes and maintains a recovery path. This allows you to restore the previous configuration if the post-update verification fails.
To verify wired integrations after upgrading Hermes, run smoke tests to check agent responsiveness and compare wired MCP and platform lists. This re-verification confirms that the gateway reload succeeded and all integrations still respond.
Yes, the Hermes SSH update workflow supports both host and container deployments on a remote VPS. It applies pinned version installation and gateway reloads across both environments while maintaining rollback-ready recovery checks.
Yes, you can update Hermes using CLI tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. The update workflow runs entirely on the remote VPS over SSH, allowing these clients to trigger the deployment safely.
A Hermes gateway loses platform connections after a version bump if the update lacks proper post-update verification. Rechecking the gateway and comparing wired platform lists ensures every integration still works after the reload.
