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?

oh, that sucks. I did not understand the LSP's requirements:

the language servers are pretty simple C/C++ programs. If you have access to gcc/g++ on the target machine, you could try compile/running them in the BG just as a command line prgram. you would not need to `sudo blah install` anything.
