I'm referring to SSH Keys, so you can quickly authenticate to any of
your VMs without a password.
I understand.  I appreciate you suggesting that. I have been aware of 
SSH Keys for a long time.  Never have used one.
I'm a PHP developer.  I first came to know about Linux in around 1998.  
In the beginning it was this really cool counter culture thing.
I'm working a project that might take another year.  I'll talk about it 
then.  It does require things be as simple as possible.  Keep It Simple 
Stupid (KISS).
I do not like using those utilities that mimic Linux that are used by 
some for development. I've tried them and find creating VMs on 
VirtualBox is far better.  This requires some LAMP skills.  That is my 
niche.  I liked CentOS much better because the virtual host docroot was 
off the user's home directory.  It was super easy to configure.  Now 
with Ubuntu we have to use PHP-FPM so the ssh user is the docroot owner. 
 Another layer of complexity.  I have learned enough to get PHP-FPM to 
work... Yikes.
PHP has gotten more complex as well.  Things like Composer, Name Spaces, 
Dependency Injection... etc.
I know all the fancy PHP developers are looking at me like I am crazy, 
and maybe I am.  I don't think I am.  I truly want to question what they 
are doing.
I spent a decade on PHP5.  Served me well.

Several things have shaped my thought on technology.

Around 1996 I experienced four things:

1) I ran into a business owner who told me he had written a Basic app to run his business.
2) I went into a warehouse that was run on a Commodore 64.

3) Met a guy that was working on a daycare management system that was based on the Commodore 64.
4) I was introduced to dBaseII.

I am trying to get back to that. We need to create technology that a business owner and that middle school kid can use and do something worthwhile.
So that is my story and I'm sticking to it!!

Keith





Let me know if you have any questions.

Since this is only local to my private network, I am going to start
over.  I am using virtual box and every time I upgrade I clone the
last
successful configuration.  So in the case of a failed issue I can
start
over by deleting the current VM and clone the last successful VM and

start over.

I'm also going to uninstall VSC since it has configurations going
back
several years.  I have high hopes for VSC....

As for using key-authentication this is all local on a private
network
and my domains are all non-routable .internal.

I use the hosts files for DNS.

Wish me luck!!  I may return.

Hi Alexander!!

Thank you for your feedback.

I use Visual Studio Code a ton. Whenever I've had an issue with
SSH on
code it's usually due to an issue in the SSHD Config.

Check the "output" tab in VSC, as it'll have helpful output
there.
Typically, in the SSHD Config file you'll need:

AllowAgentForwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes
TCPKeepAlive yes

I'll check into this.



I would also *HIGHLY* suggest using key-authentication, just in
general -- but most especially when using VSC with Remote SSH.

This is only local so I like to keep things simple.

Hi,

I am having difficulty connecting remote using Visual Studio
Code.
Desktop is running Kubuntu 24.04lts

Remote is a laptop running Win10 with VirtualBox installed and
multiple
Ubuntu 24.04lts LAMP servers configured.  Only one is running.

I have 3 users

1) is the user installed during the Linux install.  It has Sudo
privileges.
2) A user that has SSH access that I can SSH into via the
konsole on
Kubuntu. This is going to be a PHP-FPM virtual host owner.
3) A user that has SSH access that I can SSH into via the
konsole on
Kubuntu. This is going to be a PHP-FPM virtual host owner.

I can SSH into the box remotely using SSH via the konsole on
Kubuntu.

Users number 2 and three do not have sudo.

I can access the virtual hosts via FileZilla using user 2 and 3.

I can remote (VSC) into the VM using my sudo user that does not
own
any
vhosts.

I will be installing and configuring PHP-FPM so my virtual hosts
will be
owned by a SSH user so I can do programming in real time /
remote.
AI gave me a list of things to do and test which I did, such as

- Set /etc/ssh/sshd_config to PasswordAuthentication yes. Local
and
remote are set to PasswordAuthentication yes

- sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog - nothing looks like it has
anything
to
do with VSC.

- ssh -vvv lamp@ip-address

which returns a bunch of stuff and then asks me for the password
for
lamp@ip-address then connects the konsole w/o an issue:
