Hi,

I am self hosting LinuxServer.io's Open VS Code Server in a docker container and I would like to be able to connect from it to my self hosted Coder environment (like I do from my local VS Code).

First of all, I coundn't find vscoder-coder on the Open VS Code Server marketplace. So I downloaded it from GitHub as a VSIX and installed it.

But it says "This extension is disabled because it is defined to run only in OpenVSCode Server for the Desktop". Why is that? Is there any reason why the extension wouldn't run on LinuxServer.io's Open VS Code Server?

Thanks.

Hi @gitwittidbit, The extension is meant to allow a client machine to connect to remote workspaces from the desktop version of VSCode IDE. For web-based IDEs, we recommend hosting them in the workspace and exposing them as a coder_app.

We publish a few example modules for hosting code-server and vscode-web that you can easily add to your Coder template and can access from any browser.

  1. code-server
  2. vscode-web
