Can't install workspace in SSH from Mac to Ubuntu

[ReneDyhr]

What happened?
I've installed DevPod on my M1 Macbook and added a provider for a Ubuntu 24.04. Whenever I add my workspace folder it just keeps saying this:

08:47:31 info Waiting for devpod agent to come up... 08:47:31 debug Inject Error: EOF 08:47:34 debug execute inject script 08:47:34 debug download agent from https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod/releases/download/v0.6.2 08:47:34 debug Run command provider command: ${SSH_PROVIDER} command 08:48:05 debug done exec 08:48:05 debug done inject 08:48:05 debug done injecting 08:48:05 debug Done InjectAgentAndExecute 08:48:05 debug Done executing ssh server helper command 08:48:05 debug Done creating devcontainer 08:48:05 fatal executing agent command: timeout waiting for instance connection: EOF

What did you expect to happen instead?
When I tested this on a Ubuntu 24 to the Ubuntu 24 it worked flawless, haven't got this to work a at all.

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

My devcontainer.json:

{
        "name": "test",
        "dockerComposeFile": [
                "../docker-compose.yml"
        ],
        "service": "test",
        "workspaceFolder": "/var/www/html",
        "mounts": [

                "source=${localEnv:HOME}/.ssh,target=/home/programmer/.ssh,type=bind,consistency=cached"
        ],
        "customizations": {
                "vscode": {
                        "extensions": [
                                "DEVSENSE.phptools-vscode",
                                "eamodio.gitlens",
                                "dbaeumer.vscode-eslint",
                                "stylelint.vscode-stylelint"
                        ],
                        "settings": {}
                }
        },
        "remoteUser": "programmer",
        "postCreateCommand": "chown -R $WWWUSER:$WWWGROUP /var/www/html"
        // "runServices": [],
        // "shutdownAction": "none",
}

Local Environment:

• DevPod Version: v0.6.2
• Operating System: mac
• ARCH of the OS: ARM64

DevPod Provider:

• Cloud Provider: SSH, Ubuntu 24.04
• Local/remote provider: docker | ssh

Hey @ReneDyhr, thanks for opening this issue. Can you share your current configuration for the SSH provider?

When I tested this on a Ubuntu 24 to the Ubuntu 24 it worked flawless, haven't got this to work a at all. Could you check if the devpod binary is installed on the target ubuntu 24 machine?

Of course! This is the provider.json

It seems I solved the issue! It had nothing to do with DevPod specific. From my testing on the Ubuntu machine to my Mac, the server got reset and re-configured as well. This means that in the new config I didn't setup IPv4, since I didn't think I would need it. Seems like GitHub isn't fully IPv6 supported, so that's why it didn't download anything correctly from GitHub.
