I'm not the person you asked but I just made a backup of my Raspberry Pi running Hermes and Matrix, but when I tested said backup it refreshed my Matrix encryption key so now I can't access my non backup micro SD install from my phone because I can't decrypt the Matrix messages.
In hindsight I should have simply rotated SD cards instead of treating one as the authoritative ones.
I agree Hermes usually works without maintenance more or less but I don't really trust these agents much and haven't found a great use for it.
What exactly is high maintenance about Hermes? I agree the setup could be a little more user-friendly, but I have it running on my VPS with Matrix and the actual maintenance has been very minimal.
Spending a lot of time on harness engineering to try to compensate for deficiencies with Deepseek v4 flash because I'm too cheap to use better models on the other hand...
