New to AI agents: should Hermes run locally, on a VPS, or in Docker?
A newcomer torn between running Hermes on a MacBook, in Docker, or on a VPS gets the practical ladder: start with the desktop app, accept that Docker Desktop on a Mac is slow because it runs through a virtual machine, and only pay for a VPS when the agent needs to run around the clock while the laptop is closed. The decision is driven by uptime needs, not by which setup sounds most serious.
