workspace creation failed with ssh provider

[amal-chandran]

What happened?

• Created a ubuntu vm in proxmox
• Using ssh provider tried to create a workspace
• Workspace creation status stayed in loading with logs Waiting for devpod agent to come up...
• After long sometime process exited [01:11:02] fatal error retrieving container status: bash: line 1: /tmp/devpod/agent: No such file or directory exit status 127
• Things are working fine for local docker provider

What did you expect to happen instead?

• The node js test repo based workspace should be created
• The vs code editor should be opened up

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

• Spin up the linux desktop app (kde neon)
• Create an ubuntu 22 server vm in proxmox
• Configure ssh with password & try to connect
• Use default ssh provider config
• Use node js test template for workspace creation
• Create the workspace & check logs

Local Environment:

• DevPod Version: 0.1.9
• Operating System: linux (KDE neon 5.27)
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64

DevPod Provider:

• Local/remote provider: ssh

Hi @amal-chandran

I've just tried and I couldn't reproduce the bug, can you try removing/readding the ssh provider?

I did try both using a root account and a rootless account It should be noted that we need passwordless ssh access for the provider to work

I have a similar experience when trying to create a devpod to an azure ml compute instance (managed ubuntu 20.04 vm) over ssh when running devpod on a windows host...

for me it hangs after

code --folder-uri vscode-remote://ssh-remote+psa-ds15-try-python.devpod//workspaces/psa-ds15-try-python --disable-extension ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers --new-window

vscode never launches...
