DelftBlue integrated development using an IDE

To facilitate your lab, these instructions walk you through connecting remotely to an IDE, in this case, Visual Studio Code using SSH, so you can easily edit your code. The drawback is that you will have to manually kill your VsCode process after you finish the lab.

Note: You can easily use the terminal to run your commands, and Nano to edit (copy and paste) your code on the cluster. But if you prefer to use an IDE, follow the steps below.

  1. Once you open VsCode, click on Connect to... (or the blue >< icon on the bottom left of the VsCode window) and select Connect to host... from the dropdown menu. Connecting SSH VsCode

  2. Select Add new host... and login by typing ssh <your-net-id>@login.delftblue.tudelft.nl and your password.

  3. Select Linux and click on Connect.

  4. You can now access your home folder on your explorer (by putting your password once again) and opening a terminal to run your commands.

Warning: When you decide to close VsCode. Follow the instructions in Closing your VSCode connection.
