As a result, Coder has created its own marketplace for open source extensions. It works by scraping
|
||||||
|
GitHub for VS Code extensions and building them. It's not perfect but getting better by the day with
|
||||||
|
more and more extensions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Issue [https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1299](#1299) is a big one in making the experience here
|
||||||
|
better by allowing the community to submit extensions and repos to avoid waiting until the scraper finds
|
||||||
|
an extension.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If an extension does not work, try to grab its VSIX from its Github releases or build it yourself and
|
||||||
|
copy it to the extensions folder.

If you want to run multiple code-server's on shared infrastructure, we recommend using virtual

|
machines with a VM per user. This will easily allow users to run a docker daemon. If you want
|
||||||
|
to use kubernetes, you'll definitely want to use [kubevirt](https://kubevirt.io) to give each
|
||||||
|
user a virtual machine instead of just a container. Docker in docker while supported requires
|
||||||
|
privileged containers which are a security risk in a multi tenant infrastructure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Docker in code-server docker container?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you'd like to access docker inside of code-server, we'd recommend running a docker:dind container
|
||||||
|
and mounting in a /var/run directory to share between that and the code-server container. Install
|
||||||
|
the docker CLI in the code-server container and you should be able to access the daemon.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to make volume mounts work, mount the home directory in the code-server container and the
|
||||||
|
dind container at the same path. i.e you'd volume mount a directory from the host to `/home/coder`
|
||||||
|
on both. This will allow any volume mounts in the home directory to work. Similar process
|
||||||
|
to make volume mounts in any other directory work.

## Collaboration

|
|
||||||
|
At the moment we have no plans for multi user collaboration on code-server but we understand this
|
||||||
|
is a heavily requested feature and will work on it when the time is right.
