Videos about using Hermes Agent
Curated by: Tonbi's AI Garage (35 videos)
If you run Hermes across a few machines, your API keys are probably sitting in plain-text .env files everywhere. Here's how to swap all of that for one bootstrap token and a vault.

This video shows the upgrade: instead of N keys on every machine, you keep one bootstrap token in .env and Hermes pulls everything else from a vault into memory at startup. I walk through the full Bitwarden Secrets Manager setup (machine account, project, scoped secrets, the access token, and hermes secrets bitwarden setup), then show it working with the keys coming from the vault, never written to disk. The real payoff is one-edit rotation across every device and instant central revocation of a leaked token — plus the supply-chain and fail-open safety details, and the honest cases where you don't need this at all.
