| Environment variable | Description | Default |
|---------------------|-------------|---------|
| `HERMES_DASHBOARD` | Set to `1` (or `true` / `yes`) to launch the dashboard alongside the main command | *(unset — dashboard not started)* |
| `HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST` | Bind address for the dashboard HTTP server | `0.0.0.0` |
| `HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST` | Bind address for the dashboard HTTP server | `127.0.0.1` |
| `HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORT` | Port for the dashboard HTTP server | `9119` |
| `HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI` | Set to `1` to expose the in-browser Chat tab (embedded `hermes --tui` via PTY/WebSocket) | *(unset)* |
The default `HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST=0.0.0.0` is required for the host to reach the dashboard through the published port; the entrypoint automatically passes `--insecure` to `hermes dashboard` in that case. Override to `127.0.0.1` if you want to restrict the dashboard to in-container access only (e.g. behind a reverse proxy in a sidecar).
By default, the dashboard stays on loopback to avoid exposing the unauthenticated web surface over the network. To publish it intentionally, set `HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST=0.0.0.0` and configure your own trusted network boundary/reverse proxy. In that case you must explicitly add `--insecure` behavior by passing host/flags in your command path (the entrypoint no longer auto-enables insecure mode).
:::note
The dashboard side-process is **not supervised** — if it crashes, it stays down until the container restarts. Running it as a separate container is not supported: the dashboard's gateway-liveness detection requires a shared PID namespace with the gateway process.
