Body

Is it possible to connect a codespace to a remote server? I use Remote - SSH to connect my local machine to a remote server (OVH dedicated). ssh config file and key pairs etc. Is this possible to setup in codespaces? Connect the terminal from my codespace to my remote server?

[FETXU]

This may not be entirely clear here.. I can ssh into the server directly from terminal, but the file explorer is not for the remote server.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the setup you're describing. Have you tried to configure Remote - SSH for your remote server? Does it fail in some way?

[FETXU]

Remote - SSH is not usable in codespaces. Turns out it may be because it would be a double tunnel. Once to codespaces, and then once to the server. It would still be helpful for people using codespaces to ssh into simple servers from low end devices, without having to setup and manage a vscode cli server.

Which is a solution btw - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/vscode-server

Setup a standalone vscode server and tunnel in using a webpage and Github credentials.
