Trying to get functionality of Theiah IDE 1.59.1 for ssh to remote host

[ludiusvox]

my Chromebook I SUCCESSFULLY was able to get Theia IDE working on Mediatek-Lenovo ARM64 aarch64 web based version of Theia (It took awhile)

What I need to get working now is ssh to remote host. So I can build on the cloud, or go from 1 cloud machine into another. This version is working locally on the Chromebook, and I got an x64 version working on the GCP compute engine.

ssh is important to be able to develop in containers.

Hey @ludiusvox,

Do I understand you correctly, that you are interested in using the SSH feature to move from one Theia server instance to another server instance? Unfortunately, this is not possible, as only the desktop version of Theia provides any kind of remote features (including SSH). If you're using the server version anyway, why not use the Theia IDE docker image on the other remote system?

Alternatively, you can switch to the desktop version that supports to remote into any machine with SSH access.

@msujew Let's make this language more precise. ONLY the electron version supports the ability to remote ssh into a machine.

I am talking to you with a aarch64 Chromebook, I was finally able to get it working, but I see what needs to be done. I will have to make a VM with the cloud app on the intended machine I am working on a dev server, as a component of the dev server then. That's fine. I got my local machine working, that was accomplished, and I got an amd64 cloud instance going this morning, I will just use Theiah cloud browser version docker image to get the system working on the cloud and not use ssh tunnel.

There is no other way this will work on ChromeOS(android)+Debian container.
