Using local language server for remote files (alien.top)

Hi, I’ve been banging my head against something and I figured I’d ask for help.

I open files over tramp and use a remote login machine to do that. Said login machine is shared by many people and thus I can’t run a language server on it. I’d like to use eglot but don’t want to run the language server on it.

I’ve been trying to either run the language server on a computer machine (another remote one) or on my local Mac (Mac would be preferable).

Has anyone managed to point a language server running on a local Mac to files over ssh?

Wouldn't it be simpler to just dev locally and then rsync the files?

That would work. However, it would be a pretty dodgy thing to do from a security perspective. Since this is a work related query, I am pretty hesitant to do that.

This is what I do, I also use tramp pretty extensively but it's the exception not the rule so subpar completion once in a while is fine with me
