Connecting to Your VPS with VS Code Remote SSH

Prerequisites

• VS Code installed locally
• SSH access to your Kazepute Breeze
• SSH key authentication configured

Installation

1. Open VS Code
2. Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)
3. Search for Remote - SSH
4. Install it (by Microsoft)

Connecting

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Command Palette)
2. Type Remote-SSH: Connect to Host
3. Enter: deploy@your-server-ip
4. Select Linux as the platform
5. VS Code opens a new window connected to your server

SSH Config for Quick Access

Add to ~/.ssh/config:

Host my-breeze
    HostName 198.51.100.10
    User deploy
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Now you can connect by selecting my-breeze from the host list.

Working Remotely

Once connected:

• Open folders on the server just like local files
• Terminal opens a shell on the server
• Extensions can be installed on the remote server
• Git works with the server's repository
• Debugging works through the remote connection

Recommended Extensions (Install on Remote)

Port Forwarding

Access server services locally:

1. Open the Ports tab in VS Code terminal
2. Click Forward a Port
3. Enter port number (e.g., 3000 for a Node.js app)
4. Access at localhost:3000 in your browser

Tip VS Code Remote SSH is often faster than editing files locally and uploading them. It also ensures your development environment matches production perfectly.
