• I have already searched this project's issues to determine if a similar request has already been made.

What new functionality would you like to see?

While NodeJS projects use the V8 debugger, which can simply listen to a port and that port can be forwarded, other technologies like Go, Rust, Dotnet, and C++ require more support to be able to debug an application running remotely. Visual Studio Code supports remote development over SSH. It would be fantastic to see documentation or examples supporting this workflow.

How would you use this new functionality?

I have a dotnet container running through tilt that I want to debug, but dotnet requires a debugging application stack and I am learning how to build an appropriate sidecar to support remote ssh development.

I am happy to create some documentation but it sounds like you just need a normal container running in the pod that has the dubugging stack.

Is there something more specific you are looking for?

Just that! It's not super obvious to a novice like myself :)
