An agent harness is the program around the model: the loop, the tools, the permissions and the session state. How it differs from a model and a framework.
Build a dsh plugin from an empty folder: the package.json fields that matter, the patch file that mounts it, a real tool, and the two hooks you need.
DeepSeek Harness, Claude Code and Omnigent compared on architecture, model coupling, licence and maturity, plus what each one takes to run on a VPS.
Run dsh, the DeepSeek Harness, as a systemd service on a VPS: dedicated user, pinned version, Restart rules, journalctl logs, and an SSH tunnel to the UI.
dsh prints http://127.0.0.1:3080 because the Web UI binds to localhost only. Reach it safely with an SSH tunnel, and see why publishing 3080 is unsafe.
Installing a dsh plugin runs someone else's code with your agent's permissions. What a plugin can reach, and how to check one before you install it.
Every published DeepSeek Harness build is a release candidate. Pin an exact dsh version, clear the npx cache, and check which npm your Node bundles.
Where dsh keeps its config on Linux, how to wire a DeepSeek API key or a local Ollama endpoint, and exactly what leaves your box in each mode.
DeepSeek V4 Flash on Ollama is cloud only. Get the real disk and RAM numbers for every GGUF build, and see which VPS plan can actually load it.
Install the DeepSeek Harness on a Linux VPS, pin the npm version, understand what a plugin can do, and reach the port 3080 web UI over an SSH tunnel.
