Description
Currently, if you want automatic port forwarding you have to use VS Code or JetBrains with our backend plugin installed.
However, not everyone uses these editors. It would be convenient if there was a way to automatically forward ports using the CLI, maybe as an extra flag to theport-forward
command?
coder port-forward <workspace> --automatic
However, doing it automatically as part ofssh
would be nice, because then you could justssh <workspace>
and everything is forwarded.coder config-ssh --with-port-forwarding
could add something like this to the config :
Host coder.<workspace> coder ssh <workspace> --automatic --stdio
Or there could be a prompt when you ssh, or it could depend on a unique prefix in the host name (ssh fwd.<workspace>
); I am not sure exactly the best way to surface this.
