Fixes Make it possible to connect to a container via SSH eclipse-che/che#22756, based on @vitaliy-guliy 's work at [wip] add ssh support #327 . Unfortunately I don't have permissions to push onto the branch so I've made this separately.
Custom image based on UDI that contains the non-root SSH daemon, basic
web server to show webpage on startup to guide the user
Add custom image to image-publish workflow
che-code-sshd.yaml file as entrypoint to configure the custom image

To test, all you need is to provide che-code-sshd.yaml as the editor definition (you could replace che-incubator/che-code-sshd with rgrunber/che-code-sshd since the other location doesn't yet exist, and select any workspace sample.

Tried the following configurations :

✔️ VS Code with (ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh) extension
✔️ Cursor ("Remote - SSH" embedded) (anysphere.remote-ssh) extension
✔️ VSCodium with (jeanp413.open-remote-ssh)
❌ VS Code with (jeanp413.open-remote-ssh)
- Initial attempts didn't work, but there might be a way to get this working.
✔️ Kiro with (jeanp413.open-remote-ssh)
✔️ Artem mentions even a local Jetbrains instance can connect

@rgrunber I've added your GH account to the repository admins list. There should be an invite sent
