I'm exploring the new set extensions called VSCode Remote Pack and I want to connect to a Vagrant container using the Remote Container extension. Using a Windows 10 OS, how could I do that?
I tried the extension but it requests me to have Docker installed, what I suppose from that is that it only works for Docker containers. But I wonder if somebody have already managed to connect to a Vagrant box.
This are the docs from the extension: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
VS Code Remote containers currently only support Docker (its implementation executes docker commands). Please open a feature request if you would like to see other tools supported.
As an alternative, you could try using Remote SSH to connect to vagrant containers. That should work but will require some extra container setup
Sorry for updating this so late.
The solution was pretty simple, as #MnZrk commented, what it needs to be done for setting up the connection is the following:
Run vagrant ssh-config > some-file.txt. This will generate a file with the configuration to run using SSH. Here an example of that file:
Host default
HostName 127.0.0.1
User vagrant
Port 2222
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile C:/Users/User/project/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key
IdentitiesOnly yes
LogLevel FATAL
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
Notice that the host name is default, you could rename it to whatever you want so you could identify it more easily.
Copy the content of some-file.txt inside your SSH configuration file. This file could be edit directly from vscode by pressing F1 and writing Remote-SSH: Open Configuration File..., then you select the file you use for ssh configuration. After that file opens, just copy the content of some-file.txt there.
Finally, just press again F1 and type Remote-SSH: Connect to Host..., choose the connection with the host name default or the want you wrote in the first step, and that's all.

I usually connect to remote computers through VS Code SSH. The settings (IP of the remote computer and public and private key pairs are properly set). The strange thing that is happening is that I can open any folder in the remote computer, but not the folder where the project is located (for example, I can also open the parent folder of the project).
It was working properly for years and now it has this type of problem.
Here, I report the output terminal:
[21:03:16.164] "remote.SSH.serverInstallPath": {}
[21:03:16.168] SSH Resolver called for host: PC000
[21:03:16.168] Setting up SSH remote "PC000"

[21:03:16.275] Terminal shell path: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
And after a while, it returns the timeout error.
I am putting the passphrase which it is requesting, then it is not able to connect to the folder.
Do anyone have some ideas?
I tried to open other folders with VS Code SSH connection and they are propery opened. I browsed with the command window to to the folder of the project and everything seem fine.
Did you try this option? "remote.SSH.useLocalServer": false, for more details, you can have a look the discussion here
Setting the terminal.integrated.inheritEnv option to true solved the problem
My workflow is: I ssh into machine A from my local, then into machine B from machine A.
I wish to develop on machine B using VScode remote functionality but this two-level ssh doesn't look straight forward in VScode and a google search didn't yield much info on it either.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!
The key word is ProxyJump here.
ssh hostb -o ProxyJump=hosta
For using it with vscode, you should edit your .ssh/config
HOST my_alias_name_for_host_a
hostname ip_or_hostname
user my_username_on_host_a
HOST my_alias_name_for_host_b
hostname ip_or_hostname
user my_username_on_host_b
ProxyJump my_alias_name_for_host_a
vscode will work without even knowing that there is an intermediate host
I'm using Visual Studio Code on Windows 7, along with Microsoft's Remote SSH extension. I added new remote host, and saved configuration in ssh_config file.
When I open that file, everything looks ok, both User and Host values. However, when extension asks me for a password, I can see that it doesn't use myuser#myremotehost.com , values that are written in ssh_config files, instead it uses proper host but it also uses my windows username instead of the username I set in ssh_config file.
Any solutions to that?
I found that including the username in the Host definition of the .ssh config file fixed it for me.
Edit the contents of C:/Users/me/.ssh/config
from:
Host bar
User foo
HostName bar
ForwardAgent yes
to:
Host foo#bar
User foo
HostName bar
ForwardAgent yes
I had the same problem, and what fixed it for me was disabling remote.SSH.useLocalServer in VS Code's settings.

Edit: fix link.
I found the problem. When using Command Palette and running Remote-SSH: Connect to host, you can add your host, and then save it for future use. Now, when saving config, it will ask you which file do you want to save your configuration to, and I was presented with 2 options:
ssh_config(which is in ProgramData)
config(which is in Windows/Users/MYUSER/.ssh/)
Now, I first tried latter, but it couldn't find the file, so I went with former, ie ssh_config. That's why I had this problem.
To fix it, I went to Windows/Users/MYUSER/.ssh/ and created a blank file there. After that, I added new host, saved it to newly created config file, and, voila, everything works as expected.
I tried the following steps as I use Windows 10:
Install the Windows OpenSSH Client
Install the Windows OpenSSH Server
Run the VS Code as Administrator
and it works.
what I have done was this:
1- Add new host : ssh user_name#IP_Adrress
2- Select connect to host and it worked like a charm
I have a docker daemon/engine running inside guest (Ubuntu) virtual machine
and as per Docker Tooling for Eclipse instruction I had downloaded and setup the plugin in Eclipse Mars on my host Mac OS machine.
How do I connect to Docker running in guest VM from the host machine IDE.
As per instructions, I would need to enter TCP and authentication so how do I get these details to setup the connection?
I had tried with guest OS IP (i.e. tcp://127.0.0.1:2376 output of ifconfig command with local host IP) but was not able to connect.
Here are the steps I used to get Docker Tooling working in Eclipse Neon on Windows.
Open the Docker Quickstart Terminal
Execute docker-machine ls
Copy the URL (e.g. tcp://192.168.99.100:2376)
Click the Add Connection button in the toolbar for Docker Explorer
Provide a Connection name:
Select TCP Connection
Paste the above URL into the URI: edit box
Change tcp to https in the edit box
Select Enable authentication
Set the path to C:\Users\username\.docker\machine\certs
Click on Test Connection to verify
There are two parts to this. First, enabling the TCP socket (which I'll answer). Then, setting TLS authentication on the socket (which I'll link to but won't cover). The first part should get you up.
You'll need to edit the DOCKER_OPTS settings in /etc/default/docker in the VM. Edit this file and set DOCKER_OPTS to something like:
DOCKER_OPTS="-H tcp://0.0.0.0:2376 -H unix://"
Then, restart Docker (sudo service docker restart). This should get you a TCP connection that you can put in your Eclipse settings as:
tcp://10.0.2.15:2376
The second part (which is optional at this point) would be setting up the CA and certificates per https://docs.docker.com/engine/articles/https/. But I'd actually recommend just installing Docker Machine and provisioning your VM that way as it will create the needed certificates for you. Then, if your machine was named dev, you just point the authentication dir to ~/.docker/machine/machines/dev.
If Docker Daemon is running(i.e docker desktop running) in window task bar , not inside the VM , just get the URI from its context menu setting. In eclipse docker tooling perspective , we can connect to running docker daemon only by providing the URI.
Netbean is great and I use it with FTP remote connection all the time. However, one of my client currently only have a SSH connection. Is there anyway to connect to it and up/down files?
Like it was mentioned, SFTP is supported in Netbeans by default.
So select "remote connection" in your project's run configuration and use your SSH connection information (host, login and pass). You don't have to provide any private key file.
I've had luck using sshfs (ssh file system) on ubuntu. I create created a mount folder in my home folder and run the following
$ sshfs domain\\user#server:/path/to/remote/folder ~/mount/local-mount-point
From there I start a new (or existing) project in Netbeans at that local folder ~/mount/local-mount-point
For a nicer set up, do a key exchange between your local box and the server (ssh-copy-id) for password-less ssh connections. Then, put the above command line in your .bashrc file.
I do the same as Richard.
In general is easier just to mount the remote filesystem and use netbeans in the mounted directory.
I just do the following :
sudo sshfs -o allow_other root#www.khosmos.com:/var/www/html /mnt/droplet/
