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?

However, if attempt it on a remote file (opened over tramp) it says it can’t find the binary and prompts me to point it at it. I could do that, but then the language server would start on that same machine and that’s a no go since it’s a shared login machine.

How would the local language server inspect a file which is on some other machine?

You should start by establishing how that is going to work, and add that information to your question.
