dsh-remote-ssh
Use SSH hosts as transparent local or remote workspaces in DeepSeek Harness.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-remote-sshPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Discovers SSH hosts from user and system OpenSSH configuration, including Include files.
- Manages multiple SSH hosts and workspaces through DeepSeek Harness settings.
- Routes filesystem, search, shell, terminal, and background-task operations according to the active local or remote workspace.
- Provides remote directory browsing and direct ssh:// workspace targets.
- Reuses persistent SSH/AHP connections across workspaces on the same host.
- Supports a persistent remote dsh-host backend and an optional Open Backend in Web entry point.
- Opens remote file links through compatible VS Code-family editors with Remote SSH support.
- Provides an optional dsh-tui adapter for remote workspace and host connections.
Useful For
- Work on a project located on a POSIX/Linux server from DeepSeek Harness.
- Keep AI runtime local while executing workspace tools on an SSH host.
- Connect a TUI or browser client to a persistent Harness backend running on a remote host.
- Browse remote folders and run remote shell or search operations without separate remote-prefixed tools.
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness users working with SSH-accessible Linux or POSIX development hosts.
- Developers who use OpenSSH configurations, SSH agents, ProxyJump, or known_hosts.
- Teams needing remote workspaces while preserving the normal DeepSeek Harness tool workflow.
Documented Limitations
- Remote workspaces support POSIX/Linux SSH hosts; Windows SSH hosts are not supported.
- Remote hosts require non-interactive OpenSSH access, a POSIX shell, bash, base64, mkfifo, and rg for relevant tools.
- Password prompts, MFA prompts, and first-use host-key confirmation are not bridged into the Web UI.
- Remote commands run with the SSH account's permissions; the plugin selects danger-full-access with approval policy never.
- First full Backend installation requires curl, sha256sum, tar with xz support, and network access to Node.js and npm registries.
- Native remote file opening requires a supported local VS Code-compatible editor and compatible Remote SSH extension.
DSH Compatibility
Version-specific runtime evidence collected by DSH Plugin. A missing result means we have not tested that combination yet.
Security Signals
Objective signals discovered from package metadata and source inspection. These are not a guarantee that a plugin is safe.
