openvsx VS Code-Server

It is incredibly difficult to assess the quality of projects in depth.

I tried doing this for Open-VSX extensions for handling justfile:

https://open-vsx.org/?search=justfile&sortBy=relevance&sortO...

  2.4k nefrob.vscode-just

Why not publish it on https://open-vsx.org for Windsurf and other forks?

For context, Open VSX is run by the Eclipse foundation, which also develops the Eclipse Theia editor, which is basically a clone of VS Code (not a fork, like VS Codium).

The Open VSX registry is open source (https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx) and self-hostable, although I have no experience with that. I assume it's possible to host your own instance with the extensions you want instead of relying on the free public instance.

Personally I'm more of a Sublime guy, but people looking for an open VSC alternative should consider Theia over VSC forks. It seems like the smarter long term investment if you want to get out from Microsoft's control.

I was going to point this weird part of their comment too.

Reminder that the Open-VSX extension registry exists: https://open-vsx.org

Idk if they removed the malicious theme (or if they have it at all), but if MS isn't doing anything beyond just responding to user reports, you might as well switch to an open registry that probably does the same level of security work, and avoid giving them yet another monopoly.

We also import your extensions automatically (safe guarding against the ones with Microsoft's licensed)

You can also just download in from the vscode marketplace webpage and drag and drop it in

> Microsoft also made its extension marketplace closed-source so we (and Cursor) have to hack our way through it.

For the marketplace, can you not use Open VSX [https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx]?

Install the code-server on a remote machine and run it using the following command.

code-server – VS Code in browser

But hasn't Coder.com[0] built a business around exactly that?

Coder is an open-source, remote-first software company. Our CDE moves development from local machines to cloud infrastructure, reducing onboarding time while speeding up builds, tests, and workspace configuration for individuals and large dev teams. The developers that we support work at companies like Discord, Dropbox, and Palantir.

There’s also code-server by Coder, which you can just run on your own server and open in browser directly. It’s also open source (most tunneling features in VSCode aren’t). https://github.com/coder/code-server

There’s a one-click setup for it in Lunni, a Docker dashboard I’ve been working on (shameless plug): https://lunni.dev/

A recent issue I've run into is that since I started working my first big boy job, I've been unable to download or install any software. I already foresaw this, though, as the main reason I use Obsidian (other than how great it is as a note-taking app) is that all the notes are stored in a very transparent directory structure as markdown files. I simply spun up a code-server instance, cloned my notes repository, and was off to the races.

Our initial foray into remote development was with Coder. We set it up using Docker within a large Linux container (LXC). However, as more developers spun up new environments, performance began to degrade.
