Using Settings Sync with remote SSH docker environment #1052

Open medoidai opened 5 years ago

medoidai commented 5 years ago

I am using VSCode and with Remote - SSH Explorer I am connecting to a remote docker container with sshd running. Everything works smoothly and I can install/uninstall extensions in the remote docker container with the help of VSCode Server installed in the container in folder /.vscode-server. However, I cannot find a way to use the Sync Extensions plugin with the remote docker container. It can be installed only locally and not on the Remote SSH machine. Is there any way to use it with the remote environment?

By creating a symbolic link from .vscode-server to .vscode in the remote environment everything works smoothly. Also, only the Syncing extensions 3.0.1 version works correctly with syncing.
