RubyMine 2021.3 Help

Remote development

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

JetBrains Gateway is used as an entry point to connect to a remote server via SSH. It launches JetBrains Client, which is a thin client that enables you to work with your remote project.

You can use one of the following ways to launch JetBrains Gateway:

Licensing

The licensing of Remote Development is handled on the local machine and is covered by your existing active IDE license. No license information is passed to or saved on the remote server. You can start the IDE backend without entering the license information since JetBrains Gateway is a free utility application.

The license will be checked when you connect to the launched IDE backend. Product in the license on your local machine should match the remote backend IDE. In this context nothing is changed from the way how the regular local RubyMine is handling the licensing.

For the information on how to configure the Remote Development environment and open your project, refer to Getting started with remote development.

If you want to see the detailed information about the Remote Development architecture and definitions, refer to Remote development overview and FAQ about remote development.

If you have encountered problems, contact the Remote Development support (support@jetbrains.com).
