winget install --id=JetBrains.FleetLauncher.Preview -e You can install JetBrains Fleet on a remote machine for remote development. This addresses the case when you have a powerful box at home or in the office, and you want to use your local workstation as a thin client. This approach allows you to leverage higher compute capacity and avoid running heavy tasks locally.
JetBrains Fleet Launcher is a tool designed to install JetBrains Fleet on remote machines, enabling developers to perform remote development by using their local workstation as a thin client. This setup allows leveraging more powerful hardware at home or in the office for tasks that require higher compute capacity.
Key Features:
- Supports macOS starting from version 12 and Windows from version 10 (21H2).
- Optimized experience with WSL2 on Windows 11 (22H2) and later, requiring specific versions of WSL.
- SSH support for Linux and macOS remote machines, though limited FIDO-based 2FA and no support for Windows remotes via SSH.
- Requires a 64-bit CPU (x16 or aarch64).
- Emphasis on adequate disk space planning for multiple users or large applications.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers who need to offload resource-intensive tasks from their local machines. By using Fleet Launcher, they can access higher compute resources remotely, enhancing productivity and efficiency without the need for heavy local processing.
Installation via winget is supported, making it straightforward to set up and integrate into existing workflows.
