Because the Linux platform program is often developed, the working environment is only the Windows desktop end and the Linux server, and they are running in the internal network environment and cannot directly access the external network. If you want to find a development tool in this environment, you can run under the Windows system and have the Linux development environment (at least it can be automatically jumped and automatically replenished), so I chose to use VS Code + Remote SSH plug -in The plan, and the question is how to deploy the VS Code Server on the Linux server in the case of offline.

Need the following links:

1) Install the SSH tool

2) SSH-Remote plug-in

3) The server installs VSCode Server

4) Configure vscode setting.json

1. Install the SSH tool

The VS Code and Linux server communication on the Windows side is the SSH protocol used, so the SSH software tools that can be used in CMD or Powershell terminals. There are many such tools. Even when installing GIT on Windows, SSH tools will be accompanied by. Win10 comes with the SSH tool, just open it. Therefore, if you install a SSH tool, enter the SSH command in CMD, and the information shown below appears to show that the SSH command has been supported on Windows.

Install the OpenSSH service on Windows

2. Install the Remote SSH plugin

arrive Remote - SSH - Visual Studio MarketplaceDownload the Remote -SSH plug -in package for offline installation.

Download Remote-SSH plug-in package

After the installation is completed, the VS CODE is re -loaded, and it is found that there will be a little more thing in the interface.

3. Install VS Code Server on the server

method 1:

Under the normal conditions connecting the external network, Click the green button in the lower left corner of the figure above, a command box will appear below the title bar, enter

SSH [Username]@[Server IP]

You can start to connect to the server VS Code. After entering the login password, the server will automatically start downloading the corresponding version of the VS Code Server. After the installation is complete, a .vscode-Server folder will appear under the personal user directory $ Home, which contains three directory BIN, Extensions, and data. Below the bin directory is the VS Code Server program. The Extensions directory is a plug -in installed by the VS Code Server side, and the user data is in the data directory.

Then install the VS Code Server offline on the server, just create a new .vscode-Server folder under the personal user directory $ Home, establish a BIN directory in it, and place the "corresponding version" VS Code Server program.Click on the help in the menu bar-> About, you can see the Commit ID, just the same as the name of $ Home/.vscode-Server/Bin/Chinese folder. In fact, you only need to pack this folder and put it on the corresponding position on the server. It has been successfully installed. This is the most convenient method.

VS Code Server version corresponding to

Method 2:

However, in many cases, there is no ready -made VS Code Server program, you need to download manually.Remember the Commit ID above, you can download vSCode-Server-linux-x64.tar.gz through the link below.

$ commit_id=c47d83b293181d9be64f27ff093689e8e7aed054
$ curl -sSL "https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:${commit_id}/server-linux-x64/stable" -o vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz

Downloadvscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gzThe file is copied to the home directory of the remote machine, and the following command is executed on the remote machine.

$ commit_id=c47d83b293181d9be64f27ff093689e8e7aed054
$ mkdir -p ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id}
$ tar zxvf vscode-server-linux-x64.tar.gz -C ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id} --strip 1
$ touch ~/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_id}/0

In this way, the installation of the VSCode server on the offline remote machine.

4) Configure vscode setting.json

This prompt representsvscodeNo ssh.exe was found. It is easy to know this, either the SSH.EXE path that the environment variable is not set well. Just set the environment variables to set it up; or it is not installed with OpenSSH or being destroyed. Re -install the OpenSSH Client.
