Minimal HermesInstance

Smallest possible instance: an image, a 10Gi PVC, and the operator's default-deny NetworkPolicy. No gateways enabled, no Honcho, no backup, no auto-update. Useful as a smoke test.

Apply

kubectl create namespace agents
kubectl apply -n agents -f hermesinstance.yaml

Verify

kubectl get hi -n agents
# NAME        READY   PHASE   IMAGE                                AGE
# minimal     True    Ready   ghcr.io/paperclipinc/hermes-agent:v2026.5.29.2    30s

kubectl describe hi minimal -n agents | grep -A1 "Ready"
# Type:   Ready
# Status: True

What you get

• StatefulSet/minimal with one replica running hermes-agent.
• Service/minimal (ClusterIP).
• PersistentVolumeClaim/minimal-data (10Gi, default StorageClass).
• NetworkPolicy/minimal-network (default-deny ingress and egress except DNS).
• ConfigMap/minimal-config with an empty config (the agent uses built-in defaults).
• ServiceAccount/minimal for the pod.

Tear down

kubectl delete hi minimal -n agents

The finalizer for backup-on-delete is not active (no backup configured), so deletion completes immediately. The PVC's persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy is whatever the default StorageClass dictates.
