Is the Julia extension tested against VScode server [https://github.com/cdr/code-server](https://github.com/cdr/code-server)?  
The plot gallery didn’t seem to work last time I checked.

Related: in general I know that a local VScode can connect via SSH to a remote server (on paper, never tried), but what’s not clear to me is where would the integrate Julia REPL be running in that case, on the remote? If I want to debug code on the remote machine it should be running there (for example if I only have a GPU there).

Should work fine. 3.9.2 definitely works.

Everything will run on the remote.

Thank you!  
The second (local VScode can connect via SSH to a remote server) might be a superior solution then depending on the situation. I definitely need to check it out. Can you point me to a quick tutorial? (general VScode ssh capabilities and/or Julia specific aspects in terms of remote integrated REPL etc)

It could be useful to have the links here as reference.

OK [Developing on Remote Machines using SSH and Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh) was enough for me to get it to work. Installation or the remote Julia extension was suggested automatically and it was just 1-click.

I had more work on my side due to an unusual ProxyCommand, but that’s another story.
