RSSH server file location

[SpeedyH30]

The server files that are downloaded into a remote server are hosted at update.visualstudio.com/commit://stable
We have been manually downloading the files and hosting them at that location. any way to integrate them into this at all?

vscodeoffline should already handle such URLs. If the commitid (which uniquely identifies the VS Code version) is found in the metadata, then the file "{platform}/{buildquality}" will be downloaded correctly.

However, if you're suffering from the same issue as me, it seems that as of recent versions of VS Code a new platform is being requested from the marketplace which is not being downloaded by vscodeoffline. I'm currently running 1.88.1, and when I attempt to connect to a linux host I get an error that the mirror returned 500. Which it does because the file being requested - commit:blah/cli-alpine-x64/stable - doesn't exist on the mirror. And that's because 'cli-alpine' isn't in the list of PLATFORMS to download.

I'm going to amend it and run some local tests. If it resolves the issue I'll submit a PR.

well I didnt think that the collector was was actually downloading the RSSH server parts either. I'm manually grabbing those
and putting them in the correct commit id locations that vscode expects to download them from.

you dont actually need the cli-alpine-x64/ if in your settings.json do
"remote.SSH.useExecServer": false
but I am importing them manually as well. they all live in the same location

@SpeedyH30 Thanks for the info about the setting; I wasn't aware of that.

I can confirm that with my change (PR #65) I am able to get everything working for remote SSH again. The extensions, cli-alpine and the code server all download correctly from the vscodeoffline mirror; they are all integrated into vscodeoffline.

If you have the following A records point at your mirror it should work:

• update.code.visualstudio.com
• marketplace.visualstudio.com

If this doesn't work for you, I'm not sure why.

Thanks @forky2 PR #65 has been merged and is in 1.0.25. Thanks for the fix!

[SpeedyH30]

Ahh in that case I shall raise a pr that includes all of the different rssh server variants

Cheers

Just struggling to get it to grab the server-linux-x64-web
It seems to skip over even looking for certain arch or build types regardless of having them set in the arch or buildtype list.

Did you manage to figure out what might have been happening here? Is it still missing variants?

[SpeedyH30]

I didnt, it gets all the others but skips this one
