- Combine apt-get update and install into single RUN with cache clearing
- Remove APT lists after installation
- Add --no-cache-dir to pip install
- Add --prefer-offline --no-audit to npm install
- Create .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files from build context
- Update docker-publish.yml workflow to tag images with release names
- Ensure buildx caching is used (type=gha)
Adds a complete Docker packaging for Hermes Agent:
- Dockerfile based on debian:13.4 with all deps
- Entrypoint that bootstraps .env, config.yaml, SOUL.md on first run
- CI workflow to build, test, and push to DockerHub
- Documentation for interactive, gateway, and upgrade workflows
Closes#850, #913.
Changes vs original PR:
- Removed pre-created legacy cache/platform dirs from entrypoint
(image_cache, audio_cache, pairing, whatsapp/session) — these are
now created on demand by the application using the consolidated
layout from get_hermes_dir()
- Moved docs from docs/docker.md to website/docs/user-guide/docker.md
and added to Docusaurus sidebar
