About this plugin

You run DeepSeek Harness on your laptop, but the machine you actually need to touch lives elsewhere—a remote server, a dev container, a node tucked behind Tailnet. dsh-remote-exec bridges that gap in a single install: the agent's file tools and shell commands are transparently routed to the remote host, while local conversation, tool orchestration, and context management stay exactly where they are. No extra SSH tunnels, no need to deploy Harness itself onto the far end.

Two connection drivers are available. The SSH driver leans on OpenSSH for both file I/O and interactive PTY sessions, accepting key-based credentials or Tailscale keyless identity. The mosh driver hands file operations to ssh but drives the interactive terminal through a native mosh client, so a Wi-Fi handoff or a laptop sleep-and-resume cycle does not tear your session down—ideal for mobile workflows or flaky connections.

The plugin targets developers who code locally yet depend on remote GPUs or clusters, teams sharing a Tailscale tailnet who want the agent to read and write remote files without constant scp round-trips, and power users who expect long-lived terminal sessions to survive roaming or power events. It is built against DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1-rc.x, with remote shell and filesystem paths verified end-to-end over SSH.

Use Cases

  • Run Harness locally while the agent reads, writes, and executes commands on a remote GPU server over SSH or Mosh
  • Connect to a remote dev machine over a Tailscale tailnet with keyless identity, eliminating manual scp round-trips
  • Keep an interactive terminal session alive across Wi-Fi handoffs or laptop sleep cycles using the mosh driver
  • Launch long-running training jobs on a remote cluster and watch live log output in a roaming-safe PTY

Best For

  • Developers who run orchestration locally but rely on remote GPUs or compute clusters
  • Teams on a Tailscale private network who want the agent to operate on remote files natively
  • Engineers who need long-lived terminal sessions and frequently switch networks or devices
