Hermes Agent on Raspberry Pi 5

Item: Hermes Agent
Rating: 4
Author: PocketClaw

Verdict

Hermes Agent runs comfortably on a Pi 5 (8 GB) provided you skip the browser tool. The 1.4 GB Docker image fits, RAM headroom stays acceptable, and Claude/OpenRouter calls run at network-bound speed. With the Chromium browser tool added, RAM gets uncomfortable and tasks start swapping.

Setup notes

Install Docker via the official Raspberry Pi convenience script. Pull the official Hermes image. Disable the browser tool in the Hermes config; use the curl/file/shell tools only. Add the Pi 5 NVMe HAT — microSD lifespan under sustained agent writes is months, not years.

Performance

Idle: ~5W. Under sustained agent load: 9-12W. Boot to ready: ~25 seconds. Tool-call latency: bound by your LLM provider's network round-trip, not the Pi.
