Can not resolve devpod hostname

[PSanetra]

I am trying to follow the CLI quickstart tutorial, but on devpod up github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-try-node --ide vscode --ssh-config ~/.ssh/devpod.ssh.config visual studio code opens with the error message Could not establish connection to "vscode-remote-try-node.devpod": Could not resolve hostname.

Can you explain how this hostname resolution should actually work? Would it usually modify my /etc/hosts file?

Local Environment:

• DevPod Version: v0.5.20
• Operating System: linux (Ubuntu 24.04)
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64

DevPod Provider:

• Local/remote provider: docker

Hi @PSanetra, devpod resolves the workspace via your SSH config file, here you have specified ~/.ssh/devpod.ssh.config so the SSH target will be defined there. This needs to actually be loaded by your local system's SSH server to work. To do so add to your ~/.ssh/config Include ~/.ssh/devpod.ssh.config. Let me know if this fixes it
