There are several ways to run commands on a remote Linux system from within the vscode editor:

1. Remote SSH extension: This extension enables you to connect to a remote Linux system via SSH and run commands directly from the vscode editor. To use this extension, you need to install it, connect to the remote system using SSH credentials, and open a vscode terminal to run commands.

2. Docker extension: If your remote Linux system is running Docker, you can use the Docker extension to run commands inside a Docker container from within the vscode editor. You need to install the Docker extension, build a Docker image, and then run the container to open a vscode terminal and run commands.

3. Remote development extension: This extension enables you to connect to a remote Linux system via SSH, containers, or Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL) and run commands from within the vscode editor. You need to install the Remote development extension, connect to the remote system using suitable credentials, and open a vscode terminal to run commands.

4. Remote-SSH: This extension enables you to connect to a remote Linux system via SSH using the Remote-SSH extension. Once you have connected, you can open a vscode terminal or a vscode window to run commands on the remote system.

Regardless of the method you choose, the key is to have a secure and reliable connection to the remote Linux system, so ensure that you have the required credentials and permissions to access the system before proceeding with any of the above methods.
