Runpod SSH and VS Code

Connect a Runpod pod to VS Code

• Go into c:\Users\[YourUsername]\.ssh (Windows locally)
• Look for two files, something like "id_ed25519" and "id_ed25519.pub". If not there, open PowerShell in the folder .ssh and create with: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com". ("ed25519" can be anything as can email address.)
• Copy contents of id_ed25519.pub (this is the key).
• In runpod go into Settings under Account (left menu)
• Scroll down and click SSH public keys
• Remove contents in the key field and paste the new key. Or paste the new key under any existing keys. Klick "Update public key".
• Open your pod for edit and copy the ssh string under SSH over exposed TCP
• Paste the string in PowerShell and test the connection.
• Start VS Code and open Configure SSH Hosts. Make new entry or edit an existing entry:
   
  Host Runpod (or any name)
  Hostname [address in the ssh string] (like:157.157.221.29)
  User root
  Port [the number after -p in the ssh string]
  Identity file ~/.ssh/[name of ssh file] (no .pub ending)
   
  
• Connect to host and open folder workspace.
