Feature Request: Support for private marketplace/gallery

[levonmamikonyan]

We have created several VSIX extension that have no use to anybody else except our company. We would like to host our own private extension gallery and have an ability to specify alternative extension gallery paths (like "Additional Extension Galleries" in Visual Studio 2015).

• VSCode Version: 1.10.1
• OS Version: Windows 10

Hi,

Currently we don't have a way to do this but it's not the first time we have heard this request so adding the correct label. We don't have this in our current backlog but this will help us keep track of it.

Thanks
Sean

This is a feature that we would welcome very, very much as well, as it's kind of time consuming and annoying to have to build and forward the vsix file every time you make changes :-)

Anyone got updates on this?

So viewing the code don't think i'll have time anytime soon to submit pull request.

These appear to be the main lines used for getting extensions from the market place. I guess you could replace the url with a call to the config to pull the URL and insert a local cached proxy so it would pull from the local proxy if package is there if not pull from marketplace. Then just provide the functions for the query and the upload that mimic the calls from vscode.

Cons to this would be https issues.

Ideally you would modify the Extensions: Market Place UI to provide a filter to a custom repository and market place filter. Something like Show Marketplace Only, Show {Custom name} Only, Show All.

Then modify the original code to query both places and merge the content. You'll probably want to add an indicator that would show what repository it is from. Maybe a dot with a color that indicates this. Something like blue for Marketplace and red for non market place with a tooltip that would spell out the repository name when moused over.

@Luraktinus I haven't read any news regarding this, unfortunately.
