Bezalel VPS Provisioned ✓

Host: 104.131.15.18 (DigitalOcean)
Specs: 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 48GB disk, Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Cost: $12/mo
Hostname: bezalel

Services Running

Service	Status	Port
hermes-bezalel.service	✅ active	—
API Server	✅ listening	127.0.0.1:8656
Webhook Server	✅ listening	0.0.0.0:8646
Telegram	⚠️ token invalid	needs new BotFather token
nginx	✅ running	80
swap (2GB)	✅ active	—

Health Check

API: {"status": "ok", "platform": "hermes-agent"}
Hermes Version: v0.5.0 (2026.3.28)
Python: 3.12.3
Memory usage: ~114 MB
Disk: 5.2G used / 48G total (11%)
Swap: 2GB configured and active

What Was Done

✅ System deps installed (python3, git, curl, jq, nginx)
✅ 2GB swap created and enabled
✅ Wizard directory created at /root/wizards/bezalel/
✅ hermes-agent repo cloned and installed (pip install -e .)
✅ python-telegram-bot installed
✅ Config copied from existing bezalel setup on 143.198.27.163
✅ config.yaml configured (OpenRouter primary, Anthropic fallback)
✅ SOUL.md created
✅ systemd service created, enabled, and started
✅ Webhook server listening on :8646 for Gitea events
✅ API server listening on :8656

Remaining

⚠️ Telegram bot token expired — the token from the old bezalel config (8696348349:...) was rejected by Telegram. Need to create a new bot via @BotFather or refresh the existing one, then update /root/wizards/bezalel/home/.hermes/.env with the new TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and restart the service.
Consider setting up nginx reverse proxy for the webhook port if external access needed.
