Visual Studio Code inside Company network

Question

Is there a standard way to handle Visual Studio Code inside a company network, in which VS Code is not allowed to contact the Internet?

For e.g. Eclipse, we can host our own update sites for plugins and can package pre-configured versions of the IDE for the developers.

Is there something similar for VS Code?

Answer 1

There are two ways (I know of) how you can provide pre-configured VSCode-installations

A) VSCode inside a Docker container. You'll have a minimal standard installation of VSCode on your computer, all plugins and settings come with the Docker image that is loaded into your local VSCode installation. See docs here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers

B) VSCode web. This is a zero-installation version of VSCode which is running in the web browser. See docs here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/vscode-web You can try it on GitHub: open any repo and change .com in the domain to .dev
