I am used to WGLMakie.jl visualizations in Pluto locally, following the instructions in the docs:

```julia
using JSServe
Page() # create page in one cell

```

and then

```julia
using WGLMakie

scatter(rand(100), rand(100))

```

Everything works smoothly. Now I am experimenting with the same workflow when Pluto is running in a remote machine. In particular, I am logged in in a VSCode remote connect session (SSH) where I launch Pluto using its REPL. VSCode automatically forwards the port to my local machine so that I can visualize the Pluto notebook locally even though it is running in the remote machine.

However, the visualization is not working and I wonder if there is any special settings we need to pass to `Page` in order for it to work? What option should be customized if any?

If someone can try to reproduce the issue, that would help a lot:

- Use VS Code Remote Connect to login in a remote machine
- Start a remote Julia REPL in VS Code using the Julia extension
- Launch Pluto in the remote as usual (import Pluto; Pluto.run())
- Try to create a plot with the cells above

It seems to describe the precise solution to the problem. Will give it a try, thanks! 🙏🏽

Worked like a charm. Just need to create a new port (say 8081) on VSCode (it shows this option when Pluto is launched) and then use `Page(listen_port=8081)`. Everything is working now 💯
