Connect to your running instances via SSH. Thunder Compute handles key management automatically.

Connect to an Instance

  1. Open the Thunder Compute sidebar panel
  2. Find your running instance in the list
  3. Click the Connect button (the icon with two arrows pointing toward each other)
A new VSCode window opens connected to your instance. You can browse files, edit code, and run terminals as if working locally.
If connecting fails, make sure you have the Remote - SSH extension installed.

Exposing Services

To expose web servers, Jupyter notebooks, or other services running on your instance, use a Cloudflare Tunnel.

Using Standard SSH

If you prefer using your own SSH client, Thunder Compute is compatible with standard SSH tools. See SSH on Thunder Compute for advanced SSH configuration.
