Is it possible to connect vscode (on a local machine) with Google Colab (the free service) runtime?

Question

I know on GCP, we can set up a vscode server and connect to that. But what I\'m after here, is to know whether it is possible to connect to the runtime instance on Google Colab

Answer 1

If you exit a session, you can not reconnect, because I believe it changes the port. I tried it too, then it throws an error, saying it's not possible.

But, if you run through the setup again and go the the https://dashboard.ngrok.com/status, you will see, that the port changed. Then you will be able to use it as a new remote connection. This way, I managed it to connect again.

As far as I understand, once a session is terminated, Google will not keep your files.
