flymysql/dsh-remote

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-remote

What it does

Manages multiple SSH machines inside DSH. You select a "remote workspace" and the agent can list files, read code, and run commands on the remote host as if it were a local folder.

Features

• Maintains multiple SSH hosts and lets you choose a remote directory in "select workspace"
• Mirrors a remote directory as a local workspace object operated with the rw_* tools, without leaving the harness
• The DSH web interface listens only on 127.0.0.1 by default; this plugin works the other way, connecting outward at your initiative, so no ports need to be opened on the remote side
• The reverse also holds: the DSH web interface of a remote machine can be opened as a local page
• When a connection fails there is one-click diagnostics and deployment, which repairs the remote environment and verifies it
• Remote path completion starts at / and proceeds level by level

Good fit for

• You frequently switch between several servers
• You want the agent to operate a remote workspace directly instead of ssh-ing in and moving files by hand
• Remote environment setup is troublesome and needs one-click diagnostics and repair

Advice

• Validate the connection and permissions on a non-production machine first
• Grant the agent the minimum remote permissions necessary; do not use root
• One-click deployment modifies the remote environment; read carefully what it intends to install before running it

Cautions

• Security red line: reads credentials + network access
• Being able to operate remote hosts means mistakes have a large blast radius; use automated execution cautiously in production
• Confirm the sync policy between the remote mirror and local yourself, so you do not edit locally without syncing
