normal wave im a newer dev so if this is me being an actual idiot i do apologize

ur good, i was just looking at this. was the fix to add the privileged intents for you? or is this still an ongoing issue?

normal wave Apr 4, 2026, 12:21 AM

#

i just fixed it

#

thank you for your time!

#

quick question though @full dragon , does the gateway always run? or do i need to restart it everytime?

#

and should i keep this running on my personal machine? just the gateway of course, i dont leave my lm studio dev server on at all times,

full dragon Apr 4, 2026, 12:22 AM

#

if you installed it as a service, it should be able to stay running with hermes gateway start.

#

if you didn't install as a service, you'll need to start it each time.

normal wave Apr 4, 2026, 12:23 AM

#

how could i vcerify which one i did?

#

do not remember tbh

#

idk if theres a way to check from command line or config etc

full dragon Apr 4, 2026, 12:24 AM

#

good question. let me see if i can find an answer

normal wave Apr 4, 2026, 12:25 AM

#

thank you!

#

i just dont want to stop the LM studio dev server and never get the gateway working again lmao

full dragon Apr 4, 2026, 12:25 AM

#

Run:

hermes gateway status

If Hermes says Gateway service is not installed, then you did not install it as a service.

If it says the gateway service is running or stopped, then you did install it as a service.

You can also check directly on Linux with:

systemctl --user status hermes-gateway

#

hope this helps! feel free to ask anything you need clarification for.

#

assuming im good?

#

like i can keep this running with no issue and just turn off my local dev servers of lm studio etc?

full dragon Apr 4, 2026, 12:37 AM

#

normal wave assuming im good?

yup

normal wave Apr 4, 2026, 12:37 AM

#

ok so ill keep it running, assuming its lightweight?

full dragon Apr 4, 2026, 12:39 AM

#

you can keep it running, though without your configured inference provider, lmtudio running, any cron jobs will fail. you can turn it off and on via hermes gateway stop and hermes gateway start and shouldnt have any issue.

#

regarding if it's lightweight or not... that just depends on if you consider this lightweight. (it shows resource stats on that status output)

normal wave Apr 4, 2026, 1:22 AM

#

full dragon you can keep it running, though without your configured inference provider, lmtu...

yea for sure, thank you!

full dragon Apr 4, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

np, any time!

humble otter Apr 4, 2026, 3:51 AM

#

full dragon Apr 4, 2026, 3:52 AM

#

yep. they're up and running i do believe.
