The guide provides a mental model, step-by-step instructions, and solutions to encountered problems.", "body_md": "I wanted something seemingly simple: keep my `default`\n\nprofile in [Hermes](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/) pointing to my remote instance while also having a second profile — `macbook-local`\n\n— running **100% on my Mac**. Switching between them directly from the desktop app.\n\n“Simple” lasted until I discovered that Hermes has **several independent notions of ‘active profile’ and ’local vs. remote’**, and they don’t talk to each other automatically. This post is the guide I wish I had: first the mental model, then the correct step-by-step, and finally all the problems I encountered and how I solved each one.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-run-two-hermes-gateways-one-remote-and-one-local", "canonical_source": "https://www.lucasaguiar.xyz/posts/como-ter-dois-hermes-gateways/", "published_at": "2026-07-05 13:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-07 02:40:42.331699+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Hermes", "Nous Research", "Mac"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-run-two-hermes-gateways-one-remote-and-one-local", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-run-two-hermes-gateways-one-remote-and-one-local.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-run-two-hermes-gateways-one-remote-and-one-local.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/how-to-run-two-hermes-gateways-one-remote-and-one-local.jsonld"}}
