Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know a good way to run vscode remotely? I have a large c++ code base that only compiles on a specific server, and I'd like to run it there. I tried code-server, but it's extremely buggy, and not quite ready for prime time. X forwarding was also painfully slow. Is vnc the only option?
- bmaupin 8y agoWhy not think of the problem from the other end? Instead of running vscode on the server, run it locally and use one of the SSH/SFTP plugins (e.g. [1] [2]) to sync the code with the server.

- shaklee3 8y agoI tried that, and it seems to lose some of the capabilities you get otherwise, like issuing remote commands to build. I'll take another look, though.

- blh 8y agoCan you mount the server via sshfs or so and run VS Code locally and just compile remotely via SSH?
- SonOfKyuss 8y agoInstead of remoting the display, I mount the remote filesystem using the sshfs extension. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Kelvin.vscode-sshfs https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Kelvin.v...
- shaklee3 8y agoLooks like intellisense doesn't work on these...

- dalore 8y agoTry using x2go, it's a lot better then x forwarding.
