Thanks for opening an extension request!
|
||||
We are currently in the process of switching extension
|
||||
marketplaces and transitioning over to [Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/).
|
||||
Once https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/issues/249 is implemented, we
|
||||
can fully make this transition. Therefore, we are no longer accepting
|
||||
new requests for extension requests. We suggest installing the VSIX
|
||||
file and then installing into code-server as a temporary workaround.
|
||||
See [docs](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#installing-vsix-extensions-via-the-command-line) for more info.

Because of this, we can't offer any extensions on Microsoft's marketplace.
|
||||
Instead, we've created a marketplace offering open-source extensions. The
|
||||
marketplace works by scraping GitHub for VS Code extensions and building them.
|
||||
Instead, we use the [Open-VSX extension gallery](https://open-vsx.org), which is also used by various other forks.
|
||||
It isn't perfect, but its getting better by the day with more and more extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
We also offer our own marketplace for open source extensions, but plan to
|
||||
deprecate it at a future date and completely migrate to Open-VSX.

These are the closed-source extensions that are presently unavailable:

## How can I request an extension that's missing from the marketplace?

|

We are in the process of transitioning to [Open VSX](https://open-vsx.org/).
|
||||
Once we've [implemented Open
|
||||
VSX](https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/issues/249), we can finalize this
|
||||
transition. As such, we are not currently accepting new extension requests.
|
||||
|
||||
In the meantime, we suggest:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Switching to Open VSX](#how-do-i-configure-the-marketplace-url) now
|
||||
- Downloading and [installing the extension manually](#installing-an-extension-manually)
|
||||
To add an extension to Open-VSX, please see [open-vsx/publish-extensions](https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions).
|
||||
We no longer plan to add new extensions to our legacy extension gallery.

## How do I install an extension?

|

downloading from OpenVSX can be done like this:

||||
|

```shell

SERVICE_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery ITEM_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item code-server --install-extension <extension id>

code-server --install-extension <extension id>

|
||||
## How do I use my own extensions marketplace?
|
||||
|
||||
If you own a marketplace that implements the VS Code Extension Gallery API, you
|
||||
can point code-server to it by setting `$SERVICE_URL` and `$ITEM_URL`. These correspond directly
|
||||
to `serviceUrl` and `itemUrl` in VS Code's `product.json`.
|
||||
can point code-server to it by setting `$EXTENSIONS_GALLERY`.
|
||||
This corresponds directly with the `extensionsGallery` entry in in VS Code's `product.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to use [open-vsx.org](https://open-vsx.org), run:
|
||||
For example, to use the legacy Coder extensions marketplace:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export SERVICE_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery
|
||||
export ITEM_URL=https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item
|
||||
export EXTENSIONS_GALLERY='{"serviceUrl": "https://extensions.coder.com/api"}'
