Connect to a Remote Server with VS Code

VS Code offers multiple methods for connecting to remote development servers, including Remote SSH and code-server. Remote SSH allows developers to use VS Code on their desktop while developing on a remote machine, while code-server enables access via a web browser. Both tools have advantages and disadvantages depending on the project requirements. Installing code-server can be done using an install script or as a Docker container. To connect remotely, developers can use code-server --link for a public tunneled URL or self-host a tunnel with Inlets Pro. Additionally, VS Code Remote SSH requires an SSH server running on the machine being accessed. Developers can explore various options and improvements in enabling smooth workflows while reducing setup friction for remote development servers.
