Description

Before installing anything, audit the Hermes VPS to understand what we're working with.

Tasks

  1. Check VPS specs — CPU cores, RAM, disk space, swap, OS version
  2. Check existing services — What's already running? (Gitea, any Docker containers, Tailscale)
  3. Check disk usage — How much free space for models and OpenClaw workspace?
  4. Check Tailscale status — Is Tailscale running? Can we access the VPS via Tailscale hostname?
  5. Check Node.js — Is Node 22+ or 24 installed? If not, note what's needed
  6. Check Docker — Is Docker installed and running?
  7. Document findings — Post results as a comment on this issue

Acceptance Criteria

  • VPS resource audit is documented
  • Available headroom for Ollama + OpenClaw is quantified
  • Any blockers are identified (e.g., not enough RAM, missing deps)
  • Findings inform whether we go Docker or bare-metal install

Constraints

  • Do NOT install anything yet — this is observation only
  • Use local inference where possible to check

🧹 Closed — Rejected Direction (OpenClaw)

OpenClaw direction was explicitly rejected by the principal. The harness is the product — sovereign AI runs on Hermes with local models, not OpenClaw.

Ref: Deep Backlog Triage #1076. Reopen if needed.
