Frank 90c4ac69a7 Doc audit: fix all broken links + correct stale facts across the KB
Fanned out 5 read-only doc-auditor subagents (one per service group) that
fact-checked the knowledge base against the live system + repo config,
researched official setup docs online, and verified progress. Applied:
- All 34 broken links fixed (real pages / external URLs / correct relative
  paths); 0 broken links remain. No .AGENTTRASH links (the 4 mentions are
  accurate descriptive text, not links).
- Fact-check fixes: Readarr retired (May 2026), Radarr v4->v6, Calibre
  9.2.1 live, Calibre-Web 0.6.25 live, Copyparty v1.20.21, LLM index
  ncmoe 38 + 786432 ctx, frank-default-small active (not frank-pp-worker),
  Hermes/SearXNG/Grafana hostnames, Loki/Alloy local images, Observability
  diagram (Promtail->Alloy), VLLM retired note, DFlash status, benchmark
  live-drift notes, Homepage test count 116.

Hermes

Hermes is the self-improving AI agent from Nous Research. It runs in a terminal, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, or Signal, and keeps a persistent learning loop: it creates skills from experience, searches past conversations, and builds a model of the user across sessions.

Host: Dankclaw — Hostname: hermes.dankclaw.local — Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs

Facts (from research, primary source)

Item Value
Image built from NousResearch/hermes-agent (official Dockerfile in repo)
License MIT
Model backends Nous Portal, OpenRouter, OpenAI, or any custom endpoint
Interfaces TUI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal
Memory FTS5 session search, Honcho user modeling
Skills self-created, self-improving during use

Configuration

  • Point Hermes at the local model endpoint (http://localhost:7770/v1) or an external provider through its provider config.
  • The gateway process exposes one port for chat integration; the exact port is set in the Hermes config (8090 convention in this repo).
  • The data volume persists skills, memory, and session history.

Volumes

Container path Host path (convention)
/data /opt/hermes/data

Gotchas

  • Hermes is under active development; pin the image tag for reproducibility.
  • Model choice drives quality; the local frank-default-large (Dankclaw, 7770) is the intended backend.
  • Do not expose the gateway without auth — put it behind Caddy with basic auth.
