I've installed VSCode Web via docker on my local server at home and would like to open my production server through the editor. How do I do that? Is it even possible?

You can us ssh to open up a vscode instance that is pointed at/running on another machine. But I don't know if that works with the Web version.

There is also a tunnels extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.remote-server
