Unable to start docker compose

[nixbin-engineering]

I have tried this multiple time and every time i do the docker-compose up I get this erro:
'Warning: Input is not a terminal (fd=0)
and the next line is Good Bye

Looks like Hermes is starting the interactive CLI, not the gateway.

Fix to try: add this to the hermes-agent service:

command: gateway run

Then run:

docker compose down
docker compose up -d --force-recreate
docker compose logs -f hermes-agent

If still broken, share:

docker compose config
docker compose logs --no-color hermes-agent
docker image inspect nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest --format '{{json .Config.Entrypoint}} {{json .Config.Cmd}}'

Same issue here. Did the most recent Hermes agent update break the Docker compose logic?

Gateway starts now -- logs:

[nixbin-engineering]

That does fix the issue. Thank you

[outsourc-e]

Confirmed and fixed. Opened #385 to add command: [gateway, run] to the hermes-agent service in docker-compose.yml so this works on a fresh docker compose up -d without users having to patch their compose manually.

Thanks @CipherFrame for the diagnosis and @nazeshinjite + @nixbin-engineering for verifying the fix. Will merge once CI is green.
