hermes-webui is Network=host, so 8787 is a bare host-netns bind, and netavark DNATs only *published* ports. From Caddy's bridge netns 192.168.0.143:8787 and 10.89.1.1:8787 are both refused, while host.containers.internal:8787 (169.254.1.2) answers 200 — measured live 2026-09-16 from inside the Caddy container. The dashboard's published 9119 answers on that same LAN IP, which is what made the old upstream look sound. The vhost comment asserted "192.168.0.143:8787 is open" from that bridge; it is not, so the claim is replaced with the measurement, and the hermes-webui quadlet comment carries the same correction. The seam guarding this invariant accepted any numeric upstream, so the LAN IP passed it; it now pins the measured-working form and fails on the LAN IP (teeth verified by substitution).

# Quadlet unit: Hermex webui (Hermex) container (rootless, boot-persistent).
|
|
#
|
|
# Install path on dankclaw: ~/.config/containers/systemd/hermes-webui.container
|
|
# Unit name: hermes-webui.service (container name: hermes-webui)
|
|
#
|
|
# Runs the open-source hermes-webui (github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui) in
|
|
# foreground mode: bootstrap.py creates .venv inside the mounted checkout,
|
|
# installs WebUI + agent deps, then execs server.py as a single foreground
|
|
# process. It reads HERMES_HOME=/data, so it drives the SAME agent state
|
|
# (memory, skills, sessions) as the gateway container.
|
|
#
|
|
# Host networking on purpose: the agent's chrome-devtools MCP client spawns
|
|
# npx chrome-devtools-mcp with --browserUrl=http://127.0.0.1:9222, and the CDP
|
|
# daemon binds loopback-only in the host network namespace (see
|
|
# chrome-devtools-protocol.container). Only processes sharing that namespace
|
|
# can drive the browser; a bridge-network client could not reach it at all.
|
|
# The server binds 0.0.0.0:8787 of the host netns, and that is deliberate:
|
|
# this unit is host-networked (the CDP daemon above needs a shared loopback), so
|
|
# Caddy cannot reach it by container name and fronts the vhost
|
|
# hermes.franksdank.cloud with `reverse_proxy host.containers.internal:8787`
|
|
# (netavark's host address, 169.254.1.2) — not the host LAN IP, which Caddy's
|
|
# bridge netns cannot reach for a bare host-netns bind; the measured asymmetry
|
|
# with published ports is recorded in the hermes block of dankclaw/Caddyfile.
|
|
# A loopback bind was tried on 2026-09-16 for a tighter posture and broke that
|
|
# vhost, because a bind is also the only way an off-host process can reach a
|
|
# host-networked container: the LAN address and the tunnel's localhost hop are
|
|
# both served by the wildcard, and a loopback-only bind serves only the latter.
|
|
# Controls are the auth chain in front of the vhost plus the password.
