Notional guide to Hermes

Hermes is a long-running process that reads all channels by default over each node's websocket.

Omni-chain Hermes Quickstart

In order for this to work effectively, you're going to need an archive node for every member of the IBC Gang per Map Of Zones. You will also need funds on all relevant chains.

git clone https://github.com/informalsystems/ibc-rs
cd ibc-rs/relayer-cli
cargo install --path .
mkdir ~/.hermes
cp config.toml ~/.hermes

In config.toml, make sure that you comment out any chain that you do not wish to relay, or "deny" its channels.
