About 539 wordsAbout 2 min

After configuration, Cloud Native Development environments can connect via JetBrains Gateway.

Note

Before using the JetBrains client, configure the development environment in Dockerfile first. See Prerequisites.

Supported IDEs:

IntelliJ IDEA
GoLand
PyCharm
WebStorm
PhpStorm
RubyMine
CLion
RustRover
Rider

Core Requirements

Whether the JetBrains entry is displayed depends on whether the image meets the following conditions:

Condition	Description
Install `openssh-server`	Gateway connects via SSH, must be installed
Install IDE to `/ide_cnb`	System automatically detects installed IDEs through this directory

Prerequisites

To access Cloud Native Development environments via the JetBrains client, complete the following:

1. Install JetBrains Gateway

Download and install JetBrains Gateway on your local machine (supports Mac/Windows).

2. Configure Dockerfile

Get IDE download URL: JetBrains Products → Select IDE → Download → Linux version → Right-click direct link to copy URL

Dockerfile example:

# .ide/Dockerfile
FROM node:22

WORKDIR /root

# Install SSH service for JetBrains Gateway/VSCode/Cursor client connections
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget unzip openssh-server

# Create /ide_cnb directory for IDE installation (this path is required for auto-detection)
RUN mkdir -p /ide_cnb
