@joyceerhl I downloaded the ms-toolsai.jupyter-2021.5.689556049 VSIX file from Microsoft VSCode extension marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter.

I now tried with vscode insiders 1.56.0-insiders, opened an ssh connection to my linux and tried to install from VSIX the ms-toolsai.jupyter-2021.5.702919634 VSIX file and it worked like a charm!

Thanks for the quick resolution!

Hi there! I’m a dev on cdr/code-server - @trir262 (and the others in this issue) appear to be using the Microsoft remote extension / the official, proprietary vscode-server product from Microsoft, not our open-source downstream, code-server. (The similar product names can get confusing)

We currently don’t support connecting to a code-server instance from a local install of vscode, and only expose vscode to the browser. #5175 was a downstream issue that I think we fixed by now, but we don’t have anything to do with Microsoft’s remote extensions / their proprietary remote server 😅
