Remotely deploy and debug your .NET C# apps via SSH to Linux using Visual Studio 2022.
Visual Studio's "attach to process via SSH" is cute, but it lacks deployment and automatic attaching. This project allows you to do just that on your Linux VM or Raspberry Pi over the network!

Overview
Now developers can build, deploy and debug projects on their remote Linux (Ubuntu, Raspberry PI, etc) devices! Customize your SSH connection to use either a password or a private key.
Usage
- Build and upload to remote devices
- Remote debugging*
- This is still in the experimental stages. Please use VS' Attach to Process if you have issues
- VS Linux Debugger will automatically detect and install
vsdbg for you!
For GUI app debugging, you can use the Build and Deploy feature, however, you must manually Attach to Process via SSH using Visual Studio at this time.
Getting Started
Linux, we'll need SSH and cURL for access and downloading any missing tools:
sudo apt install openssh-server
sudo apt install curl
Windows:
- Open Visual Studio (VS) > Tools > Options > Linux Debugger
- Input: Remote Host IP address
- Input: Remote's User Name and Password
- VS > Extensions > Linux Debugger > Build, Deploy, Debug
