What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

Codex remote SSH works once a host exists in ~/.ssh/config, but tools like Coder, Codespaces, Dev Containers, and internal devbox systems often create hosts on demand.

Please add an extension point for the Add remote project dialog so a plugin/provider can:

  • list available remote workspaces
  • create a new remote workspace
  • update/return a concrete SSH host alias
  • return a suggested project path
  • refresh/select that host in the existing remote-project flow

A simpler alternative could also deep link such as: codex://remote-project?host=<ssh-alias>&path=<remote-path>

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add an extension point to the Add remote project dialog to allow plugins/providers to manage remote workspaces and SSH host aliases.

Guidance

  • Identify the current limitations of the Add remote project dialog in handling dynamic SSH host creation.
  • Explore the feasibility of introducing an extension point for plugins/providers to integrate with the dialog.
  • Consider the proposed alternative of using a deep link (codex://remote-project?host=<ssh-alias>&path=<remote-path>) as a potential workaround.
  • Evaluate the requirements for listing available remote workspaces, creating new ones, and updating SSH host aliases.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details, so a comprehensive solution cannot be provided. However, the proposed extension point and deep link alternative offer potential avenues for exploration.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce an extension point or explore the deep link alternative, as these approaches may provide a more flexible and dynamic solution for managing remote workspaces and SSH host aliases.
