# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Docker terminal not receiving ~/.hermes/.env credentials

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items all concern environment variables or secrets, such as GITHUB_TOKEN, set in ~/.hermes/.env not being available inside Docker-based terminal containers. Two titles describe fixes involving forwarding secrets or an explicit credential allowlist, and one is a bug report; their status is not stated here.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
