SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Modify the s6-overlay supervision tree inside Hermes Agent Docker images to add robustness and control over container startup and gateway orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add, modify, and tune static services supervised by s6-overlay to ensure per-container reliability.
  • Diagnose gateway startup, restart, and lifecycle issues across profiles, and adjust boot sequences.
  • Understand Architecture B pattern (CMD as main program with selective supervision) to optimize container workflows.

Quick Start

Load this skill to inspect and tweak the s6-overlay supervision for Hermes Agent containers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add and supervise static services in a Docker container using s6-overlay?▼

To add and supervise static services in a Docker container, modify the s6-overlay supervision tree to register new services, ensuring per-container reliability and controlled startup orchestration for your Hermes Agent profiles.

Why does my Hermes gateway service fail to start during the container boot sequence?▼

Gateway service startup failures during the container boot sequence often stem from misconfigured s6-overlay supervision trees or incorrect boot order dependencies, requiring you to diagnose and adjust the per-profile gateway lifecycle.

What is the Architecture B pattern for running Hermes Agent in containerized environments?▼

The Architecture B pattern runs the main program as the Docker CMD with selective supervision, optimizing container workflows by allowing the Hermes Agent to manage specific gateway services through s6-overlay rather than supervising the entire process.

Do I need to understand Docker and s6-overlay concepts to troubleshoot Hermes container profiles?▼

Yes, troubleshooting Hermes container profiles requires familiarity with Docker, s6-overlay supervision concepts, container boot workflows, and the Hermes profile gateway lifecycle to effectively diagnose and debug service restart and lifecycle issues.

Can I tune the boot sequence for per-profile gateway services inside a Hermes Docker image?▼

Yes, you can tune the boot sequence for per-profile gateway services by modifying the s6-overlay supervision tree inside the Hermes Agent Docker image, adjusting the startup and restart behaviors to achieve robust gateway orchestration.

What is the best way to debug s6-overlay supervision tree issues across multiple Hermes profiles?▼

The best way to debug s6-overlay supervision tree issues across multiple Hermes profiles is to inspect the container boot workflows and diagnose the gateway lifecycle dependencies, modifying static service definitions to resolve restart failures.
