VSCode Remote Development: Setup and usage

Traefik

During specific use cases, I sometimes encounter issues with port forwarding that force me to get back to my laptop’s keyboard, for example when using Docker with Traefik, VS Code is sometimes confused about what port to forward and where to forward it To.

Synergy

This was by far my most preferred method. Synergy (and its open source clone Barrier) is a keyboard and mouse sharing software, that enable a single pair of peripherals to work on many different machines at the same time. Unlike VS Code remote (or SSH) only, using Synergy you are able to actually use every device’s UI as well, and coupled to VS Code Remote, you can basically use “any” number of machines the same way you’ll be using one.
