We also use remote dev boxes, but can VSCode connect to a remote server and connect to remote docker containers?
For example, I don't have ruby installed on the remote dev box, but it is installed inside docker on the remote host. I also don't have ruby or docker running locally.
I think all the linting plugins either expect ruby to be available on the remote host, or inside docker, but not this combo... Is there something I'm missing? (disclaimer: only played a bit with VScode, I use vim on the remote box usually).
- brianm 6y ago> can VSCode connect to a remote server and connect to remote docker containers? Yes, it can. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers-advanced#_developing-inside-a-container-on-a-remote-docker-host https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers-advance... talks about setting it up.
- gingerlime 6y agoThank you! looks cool. Hope I’ll figure it out, considering I’m pretty clueless about VSCode
- cpuguy83 6y agoYes. Vscode (server) is running on the remote machine. Extensions run on the remote as well. A new terminal in vscode is a terminal on the remote. Only the client GUI is local.
- gingerlime 6y agoThank you. I managed to get it working... still I'm not sure about things like ruby-rubocop ... I can install it remotely, but not inside a remote docker container (where my ruby runs)... Any tips?
- pbalau 6y agoYes, if you can connect the docker cli to the remote host, then vscode can connect too.
