SeaOtter

SeaOtter

Stop babysitting the install. Get a Hermes agent running from an API call.

SeaOtter is a managed control plane for Hermes Agent. Create returns provisioning right away — poll until it’s running, usually under five minutes. No VPS, installer, or process to watch.

  • API-first create

What you stop having to do

Self-hosting an always-on Hermes agent means an installer, a cloud account, provider setup, and babysitting a process. SeaOtter turns that into create, poll, and run. Quickstart.

  • An agent that’s actually running

    Not a checklist you babysit — POST once, watch stages complete, open the dashboard when status is running.

  • Operate without SSH

    Pause, restart, restore from backups, and reprovision from the control plane — not from a shell on a box you maintain.

  • Secrets stay out of the pod hunt

    Reveal and rotate dashboard credentials and API keys when you need them. Upsert secrets without digging through the cluster.

  • One API from create to operate

    List, update, stop, start, logs, and metrics through the same control-plane API you used to provision.

Built for Hermes Agent

SeaOtter exists to host and operate Hermes — not as a generic container pad. Provisioning walks Hermes-specific readiness gates through a reachable dashboard. You bring the agent; we run the plane.
