About this plugin
On Windows, DSH typically runs as a background service with no native system-level entry point—opening the admin UI, checking status, or exiting cleanly all mean hunting for a terminal window. dsh-tray solves that by placing a small tray icon on the taskbar, making DSH as accessible as any resident application.
Under the hood it spawns a lightweight exe host process that talks to DSH over TCP + XML, so there is no native toolchain required and non-Windows platforms simply skip the plugin. The tray menu offers three actions—Open UI (which reads the live webServer.port to build the URL), Status, and Quit—plus info-style bubble notifications on key events. In headless mode where no webServer exists, the plugin degrades gracefully: it does not crash, does not block loading, and its idempotent start() guard prevents duplicate trays under concurrent applies.
Ideal for Windows users who run DSH server-side and want open / inspect / quit tucked away one click from the taskbar. If you are on another OS or do not want a tray icon, the plugin turns itself off automatically and leaves your environment untouched.
Use Cases
- Running DSH as a persistent background service on Windows and needing instant access to the admin UI from the taskbar
- Switching between tasks and wanting to check DSH status or exit cleanly without hunting for a terminal window
- Launching DSH in headless mode with no webServer and expecting the plugin to degrade gracefully without crashing or blocking
Best For
- Developers running DSH as a long-lived background service on Windows
- Users who prefer taskbar-driven open / inspect / quit workflows with one click
- Headless DSH operators who want zero-impact plugins that skip automatically on incompatible environments
