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"}'

Do we still support SERVICE_URL and ITEM_URL or is this a breaking change?

nvm, saw the implementation, we may want to make a note in the changelog so we remember to update the enterprise product 📓 (or maybe we can use the old vars as fallbacks)

Yep, the two env’s have been replaced with the single EXTENSIONS_GALLERY as Microsoft upstream is now defining several keys we’d need to override. IMO, the empty env ITEM_URL= code-server ... also had some tricky ergonomics.
