#
# docker-compose.yml for Hermes Agent
#
# Usage:
#   HERMES_UID=$(id -u) HERMES_GID=$(id -g) docker compose up -d
#
# Set HERMES_UID / HERMES_GID to the host user that owns ~/.hermes so
# files created inside the container stay readable/writable on the host.
# The s6-overlay stage2 hook remaps the internal `hermes` user to these
# values via usermod/groupmod; each supervised service then drops to that
# user via `s6-setuidgid`.
#
# Security notes:
#   - The dashboard service binds to 127.0.0.1 by default. It stores API
#     keys; exposing it on LAN without auth is unsafe. If you want remote
#     access, use an SSH tunnel or put it behind a reverse proxy that
#     adds authentication — do NOT pass --insecure --host 0.0.0.0.
#   - If you override entrypoint, keep `/init` as the first command in
#     the chain (or let docker use the image's default ENTRYPOINT,
#     which is `["/init", "/opt/hermes/docker/main-wrapper.sh"]`).
