FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a remote SSH development environment on TrueFoundry?

You can launch a remote SSH dev environment by running CLI tfy apply or using the REST API fallback, which handles workspace selection and provisions your SSH keys for secure, passwordless access to cloud workstations.

Can I use VS Code Remote-SSH to connect to a TrueFoundry cloud development box?

Yes, VS Code Remote-SSH is fully supported. Once your SSH-enabled development environment is deployed, you can connect directly using standard SSH clients or the VS Code Remote-SSH extension for cloud-based workflows.

Does TrueFoundry support multi-user SSH access with individual key management?

Yes, multi-user access is supported. The tool enables secure SSH key setup and per-user access management, allowing multiple developers to connect to the same remote development environment with persistent home directories.

What do I need to provision a GPU development box with SSH access?

You need the curl dependency installed to run the provisioning scripts. The tool checks prerequisites and connectivity to deploy your SSH-enabled GPU development setup on TrueFoundry cloud infrastructure.

Why is my SSH connection failing to reach the TrueFoundry remote workspace?

SSH connection failures often relate to incomplete prerequisite checks or network connectivity issues. The tool includes built-in connectivity checks via CLI tfy apply or REST API fallback to validate access before provisioning.
