No, the remote extensions cannot connect to code-server, it is web-only. But, this is not necessary anyway, VS Code has their own server that will be automatically downloaded and used on the remote machine when you connect from desktop.

I like the use on a desktop app rather than only in a web browser. Is there any way to connect using the vs code desktop app ?

The desktop app can already connect to remote servers, no need to use install or use code-server at all. Just connect via ssh and it should work.
You can also use code-server for web and the desktop app side-by-side, but they will not share settings or extensions.

But I wanted to use vs code in a docker container.

Ah my bad, I thought you were connecting to a remote server. Yup you can use VS Code desktop with containers as well, no need to install code-server.
