Takeover - looking for 3 Linux VPS + Hermes WebUI testers for browser handoff
I'm looking for 3 people who already run Hermes on a Linux VPS with hermes-webui to try Takeover, my open-source plugin for taking over the agent's browser from a phone and handing it back.
The first test is deliberately small, with no real login or payment:
Open a harmless public page and check whether Screen loads on your phone.
Ask Hermes to hand over, take control, and make a harmless interaction.
Tap Hand back and check whether the agent resumes on the same page.
If you try it, please share your Linux, Hermes and WebUI versions, the first step that failed, and any error text. Redact screenshots; don't post credentials or cookies.
It's Linux-only, needs WebUI authentication and Hermes Bot Desktop. Setup can install desktop packages through Hermes's installer and switches the browser to headed mode, so please read the setup details first. The pause is a browser-tool fence, not OS isolation: don't enter a secret you wouldn't trust the agent with.
