How does this actually work? #4

I installed this, attempted to load the extension, and it didn't work. I see that it's not labeled as an extension and I don't know how the Code flatpak does that.

How it's labelled in metainfo doesn't really matter for flatpak. If the flatpak has com.visualstudio.code.tool extension point, this tool, once installed, will appear under /app/tools/podman/ directory. If the flatpak sandbox environment is properly set up (e.g. by some wrapper), you'll have podman-remote command available in the sandbox.

To control local Podman instance on host with podman-remote from the sandbox, it needs access to Podman sockets in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman. E.g. running flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-run/podman:ro com.visualstudio.code will grant this permission to VSCode flatpak. Then you can use podman-remote in the built-in terminal.

Thank you very much! I was able to get something going. I may be missing other parts though.

I installed com.visualstudio.code.tool.podman but it does not seem to get added to the path of my vscode flatpak. Am I missing something I need to activate here? The override seems to have worked in the sense that the podman.sock is visible within the flatpak, but I do not get the executable
