How to set default python interpreter in visual code on remote server?

I want to set default python interpreter-path to avoid being asked every time I log into remote-server.

popup window in vscode

I tried the method in this similar answer. My workspace.json now looks like:

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "uri": "vscode-remote://ssh-remote+172.1.1.1/home/user/workspace/folder1"
        },
        {
            "uri": "vscode-remote://ssh-remote+172.1.1.1/home/wzy/workspace/folder2"
        }
    ],
    "remoteAuthority": "ssh-remote+172.1.1.1",
    "settings": {
        "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/home/user/miniconda3/envs/py38/bin/python",
    }
}

But every time I reconnect to the server, I need to manully select the python-interpreter ( otherwise a base /user/bin/python3 interpreter would be choosen)

This worked for me!

  1. Install Python Extension on your SSH remote machine(not your local PC!)
  2. Open the action bar (F1) and Search for "Python: Select interpreter". You can set it there.
