📦 Installation

You can also download the .vsix file from the latest release or from Open-VSX and drag-and-drop it into the Extensions panel.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install the extension.
2. Hit the DaSSHboard button (second from the left in the status-bar), use the Remote menu, or run "Show DaSSHboard" from the Command Palette.
3. All your remote development environments are now one click away!
4. Click the (open in current window) or (open in new window) button next to one of the available entrypoint paths on the remote host, and you'll jump straight into that environment!

Notes:

• WSL support is available on Windows systems with the WSL extension installed.
• Docker support is available if the Container Tools extension is installed.

🛠️ Customization

DaSSHboard reads your existing SSH config (~/.ssh/config) to establish which remote SSH hosts you usually connect to, detects WSL distros automatically, and parses docker ps to establish which containers are running.

Default entrypoint paths are chosen as follows:

• For SSH hosts: the home directory of the User specified in your ~/.ssh/config.
• For WSL distros: the default user's home directory for that WSL installation.
• For Docker containers: the root folder (/) of the running container.

🗂️ Layouts

View your host in a grid layout or in a list layout! Change it with the toggle button at the bottom of the view

🎨 Customize each host’s icon and color for easy identification

Customize host icons
Differentiate every host and make it immediately recognizable by assigning it its own color and one of the icons among a set of several from Lucide's.

Click on the icon on the top left of th host card and you'll get a customization UI. The set of available icons gets updated frequently!

Assign section colors
Assign a color to each section (SSH hosts, WSLs and Docker containers).

Configure folder paths:
You might have remote development environment into more than one folder in a single host. With DaSSHboard, all of them will still be one click away! Just click the Configure Path Entrypoints button at the bottom of the page and add as many entries as you want in the json.
