I am using Cloud9 on a non-aws instance. I am using Ubuntu 22. When making a new instance of Cloud9, these are the options;

user: I can only get clould9 to work with root here. If I add any other ssh/user wont work.
host: ip number
port number: 22
environment path: /
path to node.js binary: /usr/bin/node
ssh jump host: not used

For user, the fine print does say: The login name you use to connect to the instance or server. We recommend that the login name is associated with administrative permissions or an administrator user on the instance or server.

For example I have a user sknowed. It is a part of sudoers. I can ssh in to the server, no problem, but Cloud9 won’t launch.

I cannot find much on the internet talking about launch cloud9 as a non root user on a private instance. If anyone has some hints or ideas, much appreciated.
