Now in order for this to work, you have to choose xCloud's managed servers. So I'm going to click that right here. Then we're going to give it a name, then we're going to choose our app type. Down here and choose Hermes Agent. I'm going to skip tags. Server type, general standard server size. Uh, I live nearish Chicago. Ubuntu backups, etc. And then down here We choose the Agentic web server type and Hermes Agent. These were pre-selected for me. And you should read this security warning because it's important. Um, yeah, I'm not even, I'm not going to go through it. You should read it. Then we choose an LLM provider and I'm going to choose ChatGPT OAuth. Now you can optionally connect it to Telegram. Uh, we're gonna do that. You don't have to. Hermes does not have a web-based interface, chat interface, like OpenClaw does. So you either need to use something like Telegram or you can use terminal. I'm going to click pay and deploy. xCloud charges $28.80 a month for this. And now our server is all set up.
