Connecting the Machines
The developer of Herdr, a tool for managing agents and local machines, announces version 0.9 which introduces a client-side UI to manage multiple remote servers. This update addresses the bottleneck of needing separate terminal tabs for each machine.
Why it matters
As developers increasingly rely on distributed agents, tools that unify remote machine management improve workflow efficiency and scalability.
The next step for Herdr is connecting the machines.
Herdr already has more than 700,000 downloads and close to 1,000 plugins. There is a big community behind it, with people using it to manage their agents and their local machines.
Herdr already has --remote , so you can attach to a remote machine. As agents run for multiple hours, sometimes you want them on a machine that stays alive 24/7. You don’t want to keep your laptop open just because an agent is still working.
I think we’re also starting to think about our laptops as clients, instead of relying on them for all the compute. For a lot of us, it makes more sense to run a beefy machine somewhere else than spend a couple thousand dollars on the laptop we carry around. You could have a VPS, a Mac mini in your own setup, or both.
