sshpod

Podman development workspaces, locally or over SSH.

Install

Quick Start

devcontainer.json is the input

sshpod discovers .devcontainer/devcontainer.json in specification order and interprets it. The Dev Container specification is the compatibility target, not an sshpod-specific workspace format.

Two execution targets

A local Podman socket, or Podman on an existing Linux machine reached over SSH. Those are the only two, on purpose.

No agent to install

sshpod shells out to the system ssh command, so hosts, identities, and proxy jumps stay in ~/.ssh/config. Nothing is installed on the remote beyond Podman and Git.

sshpod is early-stage software. Version 0.1.x implements a deliberately limited vertical slice — discover a devcontainer.json, create or start its container, report its status, and stop it. It does not implement the full Dev Container specification. The roadmap tracks what is verified as complete.
