I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

    Can’t you just install a plugin for ssh?

      I don’t think so, it runs a client and a server version of VS code so all extensions, settings, debug config etc work on the target machine as if native.

      Seems like a core feature a plugin wouldn’t be able to implement properly

      Obviously you can run ssh in the terminal or you could network mount the filesystem somehow but it’ll be way jankier

        The moment remote development works with vscodium, I’m going to switch. For now, the FOSS alternative is running code-server on the remote machine, then do ssh port forwarding (or access it via tailscale/zerotier) to access it from a remote machine.
