Work over SSH

Spin up a container in the dashboard, then treat it like any remote dev box — a terminal, JetBrains Gateway, or VS Code over SSH.

1. Create a nebula

From the dashboard, name a project, pick CPU / memory / disk and an Ubuntu version, and hit Create. It comes online in seconds from a pre-baked image.

2. Enable SSH

Open the nebula's page and toggle SSH on. The panel shows the connection details and a generated password:

# from the nebula dashboard
Host: hello.jeremy.spaceport.host
Port: 22418
User: jeremy
Pass: <generated>

3. Connect from a terminal

$ ssh jeremy@hello.jeremy.spaceport.host -p 22418

You land in a real shell with root available via sudo. Install packages, run services, edit files — it's your box.

4. JetBrains Gateway

Use the same credentials to open the box as a full remote IDE:

• Open Gateway → SSH → New Connection.
• Enter the host, port and user from the panel.
• Pick the project folder on the container and launch your IDE backend.

5. VS Code (Remote-SSH)

Add a block to ~/.ssh/config so VS Code can find it:

Host my-nebula
    HostName hello.jeremy.spaceport.host
    User jeremy
    Port 22418

Then Remote-SSH: Connect to Host… → my-nebula, and edit on the container as if it were local.
