The connection to a remote sever is done via SSH and can be started right from the welcome screen of WebStorm. In the current implementation, we use it for the backend deployment. You need to have the sftp subsystem enabled on the remote host. We recommend using machines with 2+ cores, 4GB+ of RAM, and 5GB+ of disk space. The Linux platform has any recent Linux AMD64 distribution such as Ubuntu 16.04+, RHEL/Centos 7+, and so on. It will also run on any glibc-based Docker image (that is, not on Alpine).

The server part is self-contained, so no special dependencies should be installed. You have installed a compatible SSH server on the Linux platform. Since JetBrains Client is a thin client lightweight application, the requirements for disk space and computer resources are lower than for a host. Remote machine (a target for an IDE) meets the minimum recommended requirements that can be found in IDEs articles. Prerequisitesīefore you start developing on the remote machine, make sure you have the following:

Since working remotely became a necessity, WebStorm offers the Remote Development functionality to help you code, run, debug, and deploy your projects remotely.
