This is the only thing I wish emacs would do for me, I love the idea of having a collection of dev vms on my big homeserver that I could connect to from whatever.

While tramp exists and is cool, it doesnt make for an overly great developer experience -- lsp isnt super pleasant over tramp and it sometimes causes crashes for me.

While not a Microsoft offering, code-server[1] already exists and works pretty well.

Run Emacs in the VM, one of the big advantages of Emacs/Vim is that they work in the terminal. Pair it with tmux and you have a nice remote setup.

I assume you want a single emacs to connect to multiple code servers?

X Windows forwarding?
