Access code-server via Remote-SSH
Closed this issue · 7 comments
Is it possible to use vscode server via https with interface in vscode (not in browser)? Something like Remote-SSH.
+1，good idea
You could create an HTTP tunnel where you pipe TCP between the client and server machines over an HTTP connection. Then you'd connect via VS Code Remote SSH just like normal, except you'd dial the tunnel.
A simple implementation I found for Nodejs: https://github.com/johncant/node-http-tunnel (haven't tested).
Okay spoke with my teammates about this.
Remote-SSH is a replacement for code-server, not really an access method for it
So really, you'd be just using VSCode and wouldn't need code-server.
But, if you're trying to set up "the ultimate remote dev environement" (as @bpmct put it) where you could seamlessly switch between code-server, VSCode Remote, etc. then that might be a different story.
Quoting @bpmct here:
We could do a video for the “ultimate remote dev environment” where we set up some VM with
- code-server --link (iPads, Chromebooks)
- VS Code Remote - connecting from any VS Code client
- proxying ports with a domain
- syncing vs code settings across Remote SSH+code-server
^ But code-server itself doesn’t really support using VS Code Remote. You still would have to set up ssh keys or that tcp
tunnel
@reworkk feel free to add your thoughts that might clarify what you hope to accomplish and we'll do our best to help (if that means recording a video, adding a feature, etc)!
Might be a dup of #1315.
