<# .SYNOPSIS Native Windows launcher for Hermes WebUI - PowerShell equivalent of start.sh, bypassing bootstrap.py's platform refusal. .DESCRIPTION Mirrors start.sh's discovery: load optional .env, find Python, locate the hermes-agent install, set sensible env defaults, then invoke server.py directly. The bootstrap.py path is skipped because it currently raises on platform.system() == 'Windows'; server.py itself runs cleanly on native Windows. Assumes Python + hermes-agent + the WebUI Python deps are already installed natively on Windows - same assumption start.sh makes when invoked outside a fresh bootstrap. For first-time setup, the native Windows path is to install Python 3.11+, then create a Windows venv (`python -m venv venv`) and `pip install -r requirements.txt` from the hermes-agent root in PowerShell - this script then finds `venv\Scripts\python.exe` automatically. A venv created inside WSL2 is a Linux virtual environment (`venv/bin/python`) and cannot be used by native Windows Python, so the bootstrap.py- inside-WSL2 path produces a venv `start.ps1` can't invoke. .PARAMETER Port TCP port the WebUI binds to. Overrides HERMES_WEBUI_PORT env. Default: 8787. .PARAMETER BindHost Bind address. Overrides HERMES_WEBUI_HOST env. Default: 127.0.0.1. .EXAMPLE .\start.ps1 # Bind to 127.0.0.1:8787, foreground. .EXAMPLE .\start.ps1 -Port 9000 # Bind to 127.0.0.1:9000. .EXAMPLE $env:HERMES_WEBUI_HOST = '0.0.0.0' .\start.ps1 # Bind to all interfaces (set a password first via env or Settings). .LINK https://github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui/issues/1952 #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [int]$Port = 0, [string]$BindHost = '' ) $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' $RepoRoot = Split-Path -Parent $PSCommandPath # === Load .env (mirroring start.sh's filtering) ======================== $envFile = Join-Path $RepoRoot '.env' if (Test-Path $envFile) { foreach ($line in Get-Content $envFile -Encoding UTF8) { $trimmed = $line.Trim() if (-not $trimmed -or $trimmed.StartsWith('#') -or -not $trimmed.Contains('=')) { continue } $kv = $trimmed -split '=', 2 $key = ($kv[0].Trim() -replace '^export\s+', '') # Filter out shell-readonly vars (UID, GID, EUID, EGID, PPID) per start.sh if ($key -in @('UID', 'GID', 'EUID', 'EGID', 'PPID')) { continue } if ($key -notmatch '^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$') { continue } # Explicit $null check — an env var explicitly set to '' should still # be considered "set" and NOT overridden by .env (empty string is # falsey in PowerShell, so a plain truthy check would mis-skip). if ($null -ne [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable($key)) { continue } $val = $kv[1] if ($val -match '^"(.*)"$') { $val = $Matches[1] } elseif ($val -match "^'(.*)'$") { $val = $Matches[1] } [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable($key, $val) } } # === Find Python (matches start.sh order) ============================== $Python = $env:HERMES_WEBUI_PYTHON if (-not $Python) { foreach ($candidate in @('python3', 'python', 'py')) { $cmd = Get-Command $candidate -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if ($cmd) { $Python = $cmd.Source; break } } } if (-not $Python) { Write-Error 'Python 3 is required to run server.py (set HERMES_WEBUI_PYTHON or add python to PATH).' exit 1 } # === Find Hermes Agent dir (server.py imports from it) ================= # When HERMES_WEBUI_AGENT_DIR is set we still validate it on disk — # an explicit override pointing at a missing dir should fail FAST # with a clear message, not silently progress into a python3 launch # that's about to crash on missing imports.
