How to change the default extensions marketplace?

[SpicyTakis]

I have set the environment variable but it is having no effect on the extensions tab in the web editor.

[im-coder-lg]

Can you tell which marketplace registry you changed to?

The docs for this may be outdated...previously you could set export EXTENSIONS_GALLERY='{"serviceUrl": "https://extensions.coder.com/api"}'like so.

@code-asher are there other properties you need to set besides serviceUrl?

$ apt policy code-server
code-server:
  Installed: 4.90.3
  Candidate: 4.90.3
  Version table:
 *** 4.90.3 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ cat start.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#export SERVICE_URL="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery"
#export ITEM_URL="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
export EXTENSIONS_GALLERY='{"serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery","cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index","itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"}'
export SHELL=/usr/bin/bash
code-server --port 3090
$

That does seem like it should work! Could you add --verbose to code-server --port 3090 and post the output?

Well, it's not outputting anything in terminal, and it's not outputting anything more than I shared in the GUI 😅

Oh strange you should see a whole bunch of output. For example:

If the logs are not showing in the terminal, you should be able to find them in ~/.local/share/code-server/coder-logs/code-server-stdout.log.

One other thing, what do you get if you run printenv EXTENSIONS_GALLERY in the integrated terminal within code-server? For example:

[KaKi87]

you should see a whole bunch of output

I mean yes there's a lot of output, but none when I'm clicking the button to install an extension, except what I shown in GUI.

what do you get if you run printenv EXTENSIONS_GALLERY in the integrated terminal within code-server?

I get the same value that was input, so that part works.
