Upstream SSH remote feature

[msujew]

Implemented by eclipse-theia/theia#12618

[qcjxs]

We tested with the jiden/ssh-extension branch of theia repository, and this is the result shown. Is there anything wrong with the configuration of the environment we tested?
I can connect directly using the ssh command.

[msujew]

@qcjxs Can you give me a bit more information about the target system? What operating system is it using? Are you able to provide me with the hostname+user so that I can try connecting to it as well, so I can debug the issue?

I tested it on both my local VM and cloud VM. The results are the same. The machine is Ubuntu 18.04. but I can connect with the ssh command. Because I use an internal machine, I may not be able to access it even if I give you the account and password. You can make a short video. It's will be very helpful

This is the result when connecting to a cloud VM running Ubuntu 22.04. Note that Theia requires at least 20.04 to run, but you don't even get to the connection stage, so that detail doesn't matter.

I've used Gitpod to provide me with a cloud VM. I'll take a look later today to see whether I can connect to a Huawei VM.

I tested it on both the company's internal machine and the gitpod machine. The following errors occurred, which were not successful. Do we have strict requirements on the machine? some tests I have are on centOS 7!

[msujew]

@qcjxs I see, that's annoying. On what repository did you run Gitpod on? Can you try it with a different repo like this one?

I've created eclipse-theia/theia#12782 to track some of the requirement issues. It seems like some of the native dependencies of Theia require libc >= 2.33.

[qcjxs]

@msujew I used the suggested branch of your guidance document, which is eclipse-theia/theia#12618.

[msujew]

@qcjxs I'm not talking about the Theia branch, but about the Gitpod workspace and it's underlying docker image. The Theia repository is using a relatively old Ubuntu image, but other repositories will use a newer image.

Anyway, from what I've heard @francescoflo was able to get everything running. Please get back to him to get some more info.

I just used a laptop with fresh new and updated Ubuntu 22.04. There I have libc 2.35, so the ssh connection worked without any issues (or at least I didn't get any message and the connection was up for hours).
