Launching server using command /home/auser/.vscode-server/extensions/redhat.java-1.27.0-linux-x64/jre/17.0.10-linux-x86_64/bin/java failed.

You could go with nix-ld instead of this project. See https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-vscode-server/issues/67 for a related discussion and an example. You could probably just manually patch /home/auser/.vscode-server/extensions/redhat.java-1.27.0-linux-x64/jre/17.0.10-linux-x86_64/bin/java, checking with ldd what needs patching and such, though this can be involved if you are not familiar with what is needed to do so. You could also try overwriting the java bin (while keeping the path) with one of NixOS of the same version that is already patched. And if that needs to be automated, maybe try the postPatch option of this project. I am closing this issue, as despite being related, I consider this out of scope.
