Description
Bug description
Being able to use mosh would be very helpful to overcome latency issues with SSH. I might be able to use it via local-companion but that's too much effort to put each time. Tailscale should also work (nope), but again, that will make the latency even worse.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a workspace
- Run
sudo install-packages moshso that we have mosh server on our workspace - From gitpod dashboard, copy the ssh address for workspace
- Connect with
moshcommand from your PC - See the following screen:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure using the workspace SSH address and the documented mosh command after installing the mosh server with sudo install-packages mosh. Review the SSH gateway behavior involved in that connection; done means a local mosh client can connect to the workspace through the dashboard-provided SSH address.
