Since working remotely became a necessity, IntelliJ IDEA offers the Remote

Development functionality to help you code, run, debug, and deploy your projects
remotely.
Prerequisites
Before you start developing on the remote machine, make sure you have the following:
• Remote machine (a target for an IDE) meets the minimum recommended

requirements that can be found in IDEs articles.
Since JetBrains Client is a thin client lightweight application, the

requirements for disk space and computer resources are lower than for a
host.
[X]
• You have installed a compatible SSH server on the Linux platform.

• The Linux platform has any recent Linux AMD64 distribution such as Ubuntu 16.04+,
RHEL/Centos 7+, and so on. There is no arm64 support yet. We recommend using
machines with 2+ cores, 4GB+ of RAM, and 5GB+ of disk space.
• You need to have the sftp subsystem enabled on the remote host. In the current
implementation, we use it for the backend deployment.
Connection via SSH

The connection to a remote sever is done via SSH and can be started right from the
welcome screen of IntelliJ IDEA.

You can perform a custom orchestration on your remote server and use, for example, a
Docker file, or any other automation that fits with your practices. This could be creating
a new virtual image every night, taking the empty environment, and checking out the
latest source code, with a fresh clean image ready to use in the morning.
However, if you work in Space ↗, the integration with IntelliJ IDEA lets you automate all
processes in configuring your dev environment ↗ that you can use for software
development.
Space automates for you the following processes:
• Creating a remote virtual machine
• Starting a Docker image with appropriate libraries and tools
• Downloading and warming up the backend IDE so you can easily open your project
and dive into coding right away.

5. Click New Environment and configure a new dev environment (skip this step if
your project already has the needed dev environment):
• Select a repository and a branch where you want to create a dev environment.
• In the Devfile list, select a devfile ↗ (if it exists in your Space project).
