vscode-remote-release Remote SSH: Support SunOS

Hi,

are there any plans supporting operation systems like SunOS, like the one we use?

SunOS habicht 5.10 Generic_147147-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

Best regards

Is there a workaround to make it work for Solaris OS?

+1 for this feature please. I'm working in the financial industry, with many older SunOS machines. This VS Code feature works amazing for our Linux boxes. please implement it for SunOS!

Modern Illumos derived OSes (like SmartOS, OmniOS, etc) need support. Illumos is a OpenSolaris derivative. Please support!

I can provide build support for these systems if need be. I'm will to do the heavy lifting to make this happen as well.

Working on DilOS (another illumos-based OS) - would be happy to use it as well. Now it rejects because "SunOS" is not supported. I have bash at host (ubuntu/amd64) and guest (dilos/amd64) side. Please, suggest workaround if any.

This would be great addition, I operate fleet of SmartOS (illumos based) hosts and would need to do remote development inside SmartOS Zones.

@chrmarti How big change this would be? Is it just the operating system name or is there actual dependencies other than ie. SSH and bash?

Here's what happens upon connecting to illumos based SmartOS Zone:

This would be very useful on OmniOS and others in the Illumos family.

The VS Code Server that is installed on the remote machine runs on Node.js and uses a few native modules that need to be compiled for that remote OS and hardware.

Well that shouldn't be hard given that SmartOS is developed by Joyent: https://www.joyent.com/node-js/support Do you need access to a SmartOS/illumos host for that to happen? I can help with that in case it would speed things up, @john-terrell also offered help.

We would set up a build machine to automate it. This is not planned at the moment. (It might not be hard, but automation and maintenance takes time.)

Nov 24 '20 06:11 chrmarti

@chrmarti am I correct in thinking that these remote components are not necessarily open source? (That is, we might not be able to help you much anyhow?). Thanks again!
