Description
Hello,
I often have to work on remote machines and I'd like to be able to run my nvim locally and connect to a server. I've seen suggestions on Reddit to do the following:
start the server:
nvim --headless --listen 0.0.0.0:9321
or whatever address:port you wantthen attach with:
nvim --remote-ui --server :9321
However, I'm getting this error when starting up the server (using localhost and a random port number):
nvim: Failed to --listen: no such file or directory: "127.0.0.1:0141"
Is there a better way to go about this? I'm mainly trying to prevent myself from having to copy over my local config to the remote, otherwise I'd just run nvim there. Thanks!
