VSCode Remote: Connect to WSL2 from another machine

Do you want to do remote development on your WSL2 container in Visual Studio Code? Read this.

Proxy jump method

On the host set up OpenSSH for Windows
Run wsl --update to make sure you are running the latest WSL
Open WSL and install another SSH server inside WSL with sudo apt-get install openssh-server
Now run sudo systemctl enable --now ssh to automatically start ssh when WSL starts.

Example of deployment process which I use in my Nuxt.js projects. I usually have 3 components running per project: admin-panel SPA, nuxt.js renderer and JSON API.

This manual is relevant for VPS such as DigitalOcean.com or Vultr.com. It's easier to use things like Now for deployment but for most cases VPS gives more flexebillity needed for projects bigger than a landing page.

UPD: This manual now compatible with nuxt@2.3. For older versions deployment, see revision history.

Let's assume that you have entered fresh installation of Ubuntu instance via SSH. Let's rock:

	/**
	* This is a plugin for nuxtjs to import only what you need from buefy
	* works on nuxt 2.1.0 and buefy 0.7.0
	*/

	import Vue from 'vue'

	import Autocomplete from '~/libs/buefy/components/autocomplete/Autocomplete.vue'
	import Checkbox from '~/libs/buefy/components/checkbox/Checkbox.vue'
	import CheckboxButton from '~/libs/buefy/components/checkbox/CheckboxButton.vue'

	const axios = require('axios');
	const express = require('express');

	// from https://codewithmark.com/learn-to-create-youtube-video-downloader
	function qsToJson(qs) {
	var res = {};
	var pars = qs.split('&');
	var kv, k, v;
	for (i in pars) {
	kv = pars[i].split('=');

	var Promise = require('bluebird'); // Promise polyfill for IE11
	// Bluebird config
	Promise.config({
	// Enable warnings
	warnings: true,
	// Enable long stack traces
	longStackTraces: true,
	// Enable cancellation
	cancellation: false,
	// Enable monitoring

	npm install selectize - save
	npm install jquery -save

	add this to the aurelia.json file in the dependencies section of the vendor bundle

	"jquery",

	{
	"name": "selectize",
	"path": "../node_modules/selectize/dist",

	/**

	* @param candidates see electSingle
	* @param getScore see electSingle

	*/
	function elect(candidates, getScore, ballots, wanted) {
	if(typeof wanted !== "number") {

	# start with es2016 skeleton
	jspm install jquery
	jspm install selectize
