tutorial to use vscode for remote development using ssh on windows

Guide

server

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

local

1. install ssh-client on local machine.
2. download VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.36.1.exe from here and install.
3. start vscode and install Remote Development extension.
4. ctrl+shift+p and enter remote-ssh and configure for ssh.

edit ~/.ssh/config

Host node08
    HostName 192.168.100.08
    User root
    ForwardX11 yes

Host node09
    HostName 192.168.100.09
    User root 
    ForwardX11 yes

use ssh-keygen instead of username and password
copy local ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to remote ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

ssh-keygen 
ls .ssh/
id_rsa  id_rsa.pub  known_hosts

ssh-copy-id node08
ssh-copy-id node09

OK. Now we can ssh without password like this:

# usage 
ssh node08
ssh node09

ssh without terminal closed

# on server
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# 每隔30s向客户端发送一次,确保terminal不会断开
ClientAliveInterval  30
sudo service sshd reload
