See the article on using SSH Keys with Git for details on configuring the agent and adding your key.Īt this point, you can attach to containers on the remote host.

#Connect to docker ip code

Setting up VS Code to attach to a container on a remote Docker host can be as easy as setting the Docker extension docker.host property in settings.json and restarting VS Code (or reloading the window).įor example: 'docker.host' : SSH requires a supported SSH client, that you have key based authentication configured for the remote host, and that the key is imported into your local SSH agent. This approach is also useful if you are looking to attach to already running containers on this remote server. While using the Remote - SSH extension is easier and doesn't require the Docker CLI to even be installed locally, this model can be useful for situations where you already have a host you are connecting to from the command line. This model only requires that a Docker Engine be running on a remote host that your local Docker CLI can connect to. You can learn more about the Remote - SSH extension in its documentation. The rest of the Remote - Containers quick start applies as-is. Use the Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container command from the Command Palette ( F1, ⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P)).

Follow the quick start for the Remote - SSH extension to connect to a host and open a folder there.

#Connect to docker ip install

You do not need to install Docker locally.

Set up SSH key based authentication to the server so you do not need to enter your password multiple times.

Follow the installation and SSH host setup steps for the Remote - SSH extension.

You do not even need to have a Docker client installed locally. If you are using a Linux or macOS SSH host, you can use the Remote - SSH and Remote - Containers extensions together. Connect using the Remote - SSH extension (recommended) While this is the default behavior, in this section we will cover connecting to a remote host so that you can either use the Remote - SSH extension to open a folder on a remote host in a container, attach to any running container, or use a local devcontainer.json file as a way to configure, create, and connect to a remote dev container using a socket.

Docker does not support mounting (binding) your local filesystem into a remote container, so Visual Studio Code's default devcontainer.json behavior to use your local source code will not work.

Sometimes you may want to use the Remote - Containers extension to develop inside a container that sits on a remote server.
