dsh-restart-button

Restarting the host process behind the DeepSeek Harness Web GUI used to mean hunting down the terminal window or systemctl unit that originally launched dsh web. dsh-restart-button adds a single Restart-now pill in Settings → General so the operation lives right where you are — no terminal, no systemctl, no guessing which window started the server.

On click, the plugin flushes the current response before the host exits. Under systemd it relies on Restart=always to bring the process back, preventing a detached child from racing the supervisor for the port or escaping its cgroup. In a bare terminal or pnpm dev setup a lightweight detached helper waits for the port to free and relaunches the exact same command line, logging to a temporary file under /tmp. The page then polls a boot identifier and reloads itself once the replacement host answers, within a 60-second budget. Sessions are persisted per event on disk, so a restart does not erase them; if the browser is not on loopback the row degrades to a read-only hint rather than a button that could not possibly work.

Built for developers who use DeepSeek Harness daily through the browser and occasionally need to restart the host without reaching for a terminal — especially when dsh web runs behind a service manager or on a remote box and you interact purely through the page.
