Help understanding Folder URI about vscode-web HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi
vscode-web is a pure browser package, so, all the folderUri references are client-side
You can build an extension with a FileSystemProvider to connect to a server API providing files or other type of document

But for your need, I think you should check out the gitpod package, which build an entire VSCode web package (browser client + server).

https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/

This package connect the browser client VSCode directly to the VSCode server, with full capabilities (filesystem, console, extensions ...)
Beware if you expose this publicly, users will be able to do whatever they want on the server through the VSCode console

Thanks, that makes sense I'm troubled if I am based on the wrong foundation :)

Would gitpod be the same as using /scripts/code-server.sh from the core product?

from vscode-web.

I guess they are the same, but packaged.
code-server.sh needs you to compile and deploy your own VSCode compilation.
Gitpod seems to do it for you.
