VS Code on the login node over Remote-SSH

Download the files · Source on GitHub

Desktop VS Code connected to a DTU or Gefion login node with Microsoft's Remote - SSH extension, for editing code, git and submitting jobs on the cluster. settings.json keeps VS Code light on the shared node and, on DTU, installs its server in project storage. tasks.json submits and follows jobs from inside VS Code.

With aicentre

aicentre check --connect      # the ~/.ssh/config Host block VS Code connects with, and a test login
aicentre gallery get rem-lgn  # tasks.json onto the cluster, for .vscode/ in a project
aicentre code                 # or VS Code in your browser, with nothing to install

• check prints the Host block each provider needs and tests the login, so "Remote-SSH: Connect to Host" works on the first try. Any Host name works.
• The tasks call aicentre submit, list jobs and logs on the login node, where aicentre keeps itself installed, so the same tasks work on DTU and Gefion.
