Local companion expose port of local machine to remote machine

[0Grit]

I need to debug embedded targets that are physically connected to my local machine and or network.

The path of least resistance for the moment is to have a gdbserver listening on port 2331 waiting for a gdb client within the remote workspace to connect.

You can use ssh port forward

Working on that now.

But I'm getting connection timed out

ssh -F C:Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Temp\gitpod_ssh_config -R 2331:localhost:2331 teal-cougar-abcdefghijk.ws-us17.gitpod.io

Host name seem error, it not contain gitpod.it

[iQQBot]

Open and check host name. C:Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Temp\gitpod_ssh_config

ssh -F C:\Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Temp\gitpod_ssh_config -R 2331:localhost:2331 teal-cougar-a34yifdw.ws-us17.gitpod.io

[iQQBot]

ssh -F C:\Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Temp\gitpod_ssh_config -R 2331:localhost:2331 teal-cougar-a34yifdw

Just use host field

The GDB server I am using now fails to start after succesfully ssh forwarding the port.

Wait a second

[0Grit]

Should I run this from my remote workspace?

[iQQBot]

No, only run on local machine
I run a nginx on my local machine, and open ssh forward, then run curl at workspace, it works.

maybe you need -N flag?

ssh -F C:\Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Temp\gitpod_ssh_config -R 2331:localhost:2331 -N teal-cougar-a34yifdw
