This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

dsh-ssh-tunnel

English | 简体中文

DeepSeek Harness community plugin: multi-host SSH tunnel + SSHManager for dsh-better-sidebar.

  • Host inventory + secrets (never exposed to the model)
  • Project-scoped authorization (projectPathKey = workspace cwd)
  • Model tool SSHManager (exec, SFTP, session strategies)
  • Sidebar tab for connect / grants
  • Center overlay: interactive terminal (xterm) and dual-pane SFTP

Does not replace global fs / subprocess with a single remote disk.

Companion: dsh-git-forge (Git credentials + push policy).

Credits / prior art

Product shape and several UX patterns are informed by open-source LiveAgent (multi-host SSH inventory, project-scoped access, sidebar tunnel management, center terminal / SFTP surfaces).

This package is a DSH-native implementation (Cordis host/client plugin, dsh-better-sidebar tab, SSHManager tool, DSH-local secret layout). It is not a git fork of LiveAgent and does not vendor LiveAgent sources. Consult LiveAgent under its own license when comparing designs.

Requirements

  • DSH web profile with dsh-better-sidebar (≥ 0.12)
  • Node.js 18+
  • Network access to your SSH targets

Install

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thirsty5034/dsh-ssh-tunnel/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thirsty5034/dsh-ssh-tunnel/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Or CLI (GitHub source until npm publish):

export DSH_HOME=${DSH_HOME:-$HOME/.dsh}
dsh plugin --profile web add "dsh-ssh-tunnel@github:thirsty5034/dsh-ssh-tunnel"
dsh --profile web --dump-config | grep ssh-tunnel

Restart DSH web after host-side changes, then hard-refresh the browser.

Discoverability

  • GitHub topics: dsh-plugin, deepseek-harness, dsh (required for dsh.so auto-index)
  • Install from GitHub (current): see Install above
  • Store listings may lag crawlers; source of truth is this repository

Data layout

Under $DSH_HOME/ssh-tunnel/ (mode 0700):

FilePurpose
hosts.jsonNon-secret host metadata
secrets.jsonPasswords / PEM / passphrases (0600)
grants.jsonprojectPathKey → hostIds[]
known_hosts.jsonTrusted host key fingerprints

Sidebar

1. Hosts — CRUD, OpenSSH scan import 2. Project access — which hosts the current project may use (grant before connect; Connect does not auto-authorize) 3. Sessions — Connect / disconnect; open Terminal or SFTP

Model tool

SSHManager action=list_hosts
SSHManager action=exec host_id=<id> command="uname -a"
SSHManager action=sftp_list host_id=<id> path=/

Session strategies: reuse_or_create (default), new, require_existing, or explicit session_id. keyboardInteractive hosts are never auto-dialed by the tool; connect in the UI first.

Security

  • Tool and list APIs must not return password / PEM / passphrase
  • Local upload/download paths are constrained to the project root and /workspace
  • Host keys are stored as SHA256 hex in known_hosts.json; first connect / rotation prompts in the sidebar (fingerprint shown)
  • HTTP API is fenced like other DSH local plugins (loopback / trusted hosts)
  • Prefer key-based auth; rotate secrets if secrets.json may have leaked

Internationalization (UI)

  • Namespace: sshTunnel
  • Dictionaries: zh / en on ctx.locale
  • Tab title and panel track DSH locale preference live

Host SSHManager strings stay English (model-facing).

Development

npm test
npm run check
./scripts/sync-to-dsh.sh   # requires DSH_HOME; keeps local-plugins copy

xterm loading

Prefers a bundled @xterm/xterm when available; otherwise falls back to jsDelivr CDN (needs network / CSP allowlist).
