deepseek-harness-cloud

Boot the whole Community Edition locally with one command (Docker required):

npx --yes @agentsdanceai/dsh-cloud start

Put your model upstream key into ./dsh-cloud/.env (UPSTREAM_API_KEY=), run
the same command again, and open http://localhost:8787. No Node? uvx dsh-cloud start does the same from PyPI. Details: Quick start.

Use DSH Cloud Hosted

DSH Cloud Hosted is the managed
subscription service: no server installation, with model access, workspace
capacity, upgrades, monitoring, backups, and account support. Current plans are
paid once for the selected monthly or annual term and do not renew automatically.

New accounts start with 500 free credits, and the hosted gateway serves
20 models with no upstream key of your own.

Self-host Community Edition

Run the source-available Community Edition with your own domain, database, identity
providers, model upstream, storage, and operational controls. Docker Compose is
the canonical persistent path; Docker, npm/npx, and uv/uvx use the same versioned
stack contract.

What is included

Self-hosters remain responsible for infrastructure, provider agreements, model
costs, TLS, identity/email delivery, payment configuration, data protection,
backups, monitoring, and applicable law.

20 models, one gateway

New accounts start with 500 free credits — every model above works out of the
box. No card, no API keys, no per-provider signups. Try them on
DSH Cloud Hosted, or pipe them into a stock
DeepSeek Harness install with one command:

npx --yes dsh-plugin-cloud setup

The gateway serves the live catalog, so this table is contract-tested against
server/config/models.json.

Quick start

All commands below pin release 0.2.0; pin exact versions in automation.

One command — npm/npx

One-shot:

npx --yes @agentsdanceai/dsh-cloud@0.2.0 start --mode trial --wait

Installed:

npm install --global @agentsdanceai/dsh-cloud@0.2.0
dsh-cloud start --mode trial --wait

The stack boots with an empty upstream key. Before chatting, set
UPSTREAM_API_KEY in ./dsh-cloud/.env and run the same command again.

One command — uv/uvx

One-shot:

uvx dsh-cloud==0.2.0 start --mode trial --wait

Installed:

uv tool install dsh-cloud==0.2.0
dsh-cloud start --mode trial --wait

For explicit lifecycle control, both CLIs also provide init, doctor, and
up. Pin immutable versions in automation and review generated configuration
before starting it.

From source — Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/AgentsDanceAI/deepseek-harness-cloud.git && cd deepseek-harness-cloud
bash scripts/quickstart.sh --domain localhost --admin-email you@example.com

The script writes deploy/selfhost/.env with a generated AUTH_SECRET, asks
for your model upstream, starts the stack, and waits for readiness — then open
http://localhost:8787. Development mode prints sign-in codes to server logs;
never use it on a public network. Manual Compose steps: docs/deploy.md.

Single container — prebuilt image

(umask 077; mkdir -p .dsh-cloud; printf 'AUTH_SECRET=%s\nDHC_DEV=1\nPUBLIC_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:8081\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .dsh-cloud/docker.env)
docker run --rm --name dsh-cloud --env-file .dsh-cloud/docker.env --publish 127.0.0.1:8081:8100 --mount type=volume,src=dsh-cloud-data,dst=/app/data ghcr.io/agentsdanceai/dsh-cloud-server:0.2.0

Check http://127.0.0.1:8081/readyz, then add your upstream key to
.dsh-cloud/docker.env before model calls. No TLS in this mode — keep the
loopback bind. Building the image from source: docs/deploy.md.

The full deployment guide covers configuration, the versioned GHCR path,
backups, upgrades, rollback, scaling, and troubleshooting:

The gateway authenticates and authorizes the caller, validates a configured
model ID, replaces the client credential with the operator's upstream credential,
streams the response, and records normalized usage. See the
architecture document for flows and trust boundaries.

Security posture

Workspaces execute user-controlled code. They are off by default. A container and
Docker socket proxy are not automatically a hostile multi-tenant security
boundary; public operators must review image trust, Docker authority, networks,
mounts, privileges, egress, previews, credentials, and resource isolation before
enabling them. See docs/security.md.

Report vulnerabilities privately through the
GitHub security advisory form
or security@agentsdance.ai. Do not open a public vulnerability issue or include
live credentials and user data. See SECURITY.md.

Development

Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js 22 are the tested contributor toolchain:

uv sync --project server --all-extras --locked
uv run --project server pytest server/tests -q
uv run --project server ruff check server/app server/tests server/scripts
node --test server/tests/js/*.test.mjs

Run the server locally:

DHC_DEV=1 AUTH_SECRET=local-development-secret \
  uv run --project server uvicorn app.main:app --app-dir server --reload

CLI source checks, once the package directories are present in the candidate
tree:

node packages/cli-npm/bin/dsh-cloud.mjs --help
node packages/cli-npm/bin/dsh-cloud.mjs start --dry-run --json
uv run --project packages/cli-python dsh-cloud --help
uv run --project packages/cli-python dsh-cloud start --dry-run --json
