Remote debug PHPStorm + xDebug + sshfs. How to create a project correctly?

Question

PHP

I tunneled to the server xdebug, mounted the remote server on the local machine via sshfs. And everything would be fine, but I can’t set up a project or create one. If I select the "remote web server, files via sftp" setting, then it creates a project, then hangs for about 10 minutes, and eventually starts copying files from the server to the local machine for some reason.
If I choose a local web server, then everything is sad, there is no debug icon, although the php debug settings are made.
If I choose that the files are stored locally, and then set up the web server, then just do everything is sad.
I can't find a proper manual. Help plz.

Answer 1

You are doing something random.
These two phrases contradict each other.
In the first case, the client is a dev machine, and in the second, it is a remote machine. These are different things.
Naturally, nothing will work with this approach.
You need to set up a normal workflow, and not invent perversions and try to fight them.

Answer 2

+ sshfs

I hope you understand that these are different things?
So not done if it doesn't work. But in the case of remote debugging, in the simplest case, you need to have a white IP and a port forwarded on the router. Or forward the port via SSH. Or set up a debug proxy.
See above.
There will never be a ready manual for each configuration. Take similar manuals, see how everything works, delve into it, combine it to suit your version.
In general, why do you need to debug a remote server via ssh?

Moreover, I would like to work with MacGdBp, but for some reason it stops at the beginning, and not at the breakpoint. Although in the settings the checkbox is unchecked.
