What you get

An IDE that lives at a URL

Code serves the full VS Code web interface from inside your container — reachable in any browser, with authentication, port proxying, static assets, and extensions all driven over plain HTTP.

Per-instance extensions

Install any VS Code extension from a URL and list what is loaded. Each instance carries exactly the toolset its job needs — no shared-config drift.

# Install an extension from a URL
