Building images with preinstalled extensions

See original GitHub issue

I’d like to build custom docker images based on this project with a number of extensions preinstalled during the image build process, e.g. for reproducible, versioned throwaway dev setups. It doesn’t seem to be possible to do this using code --install-extension, as that crashes with Missing VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI.

Possible workaround is to extract the vsix to the extensions directory directly like so:

FROM gitpod/openvscode-server:latest
USER root

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install zip
COPY fuzion-lang-0.1.0.vsix /home/
RUN mkdir /home/openvscode-server-v1.60.2-linux-x64/extensions/fuzion/
RUN unzip /home/fuzion-lang-0.1.0.vsix "extension/*" -d /home/openvscode-server-v1.60.2-linux-x64/extensions/fuzion/

USER openvscode-server

When you start a server with server.sh you can pass --install-extension or --install-builtin-extension.
