Failed to set up dynamic port forwarding connection over SSH to the VS Code Server.

ERROR: TCP port forwarding appears to be disabled on the remote host. Ensure that the sshd_config has AllowTcpForwarding yes. Contact your system administrator if needed.

If you run into this issue using a TurnKey Linux template, you need to edit this file:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/turnkey.conf
with
AllowTcpForwarding yes

This file overwrites the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

I spent too long trying to figure this out, so I hope this helps!

Hey tom,

Thanks for sharing that solution! It's great to see you helping others who might run into the same issue. Have you encountered any other challenges while working with TurnKey Linux templates or VS Code remote connections?

Let me know if you need any further assistance!
