    +## Self-hosted / Docker
    +
    +Hermes supports a local Honcho instance (e.g. via Docker) in addition to the hosted API. Point it at your instance using `HONCHO_BASE_URL` — no API key required.
    +
    +**Via `hermes config`:**
    +
    +```bash
    +hermes config set HONCHO_BASE_URL http://localhost:8000
    +```
    +
    +**Via `~/.honcho/config.json`:**
    +
    +```json
    +{
    +  "hosts": {
    +    "hermes": {
    +      "base_url": "http://localhost:8000",
    +      "enabled": true
    +    }
    +  }
    +}
    +```
    +
    +Hermes auto-enables Honcho when either `apiKey` or `base_url` is present, so no further configuration is needed for a local instance.
    +
    +To run Honcho locally, refer to the [Honcho self-hosting docs](https://docs.honcho.dev).
