+# Code Extension Marketplace
+
+The Code Extension Marketplace is an open-source alternative to the VS Code
+Marketplace for use in editors like
+[code-server](https://github.com/cdr/code-server).
+
+This marketplace reads extensions from file storage and provides an API for
+editors to consume. It does not have a frontend or any mechanisms for adding or
+updating extensions in the marketplace.
+
+## Deployment
+
+Replace `$os` and `$arch` with your operating system and architecture.
+
+```
+wget https://github.com/coder/code-marketplace/releases/latest/download/code-marketplace-$os-$arch -O ./code-marketplace
+chmod +x ./code-marketplace
+./code-marketplace server --extensions-dir /my/extensions
+```
+
+Run `./code-marketplace --help` for a full list of options.
+
+It is recommended to put the marketplace behind TLS otherwise code-server will
+reject connecting to the API.
+
+The `/healthz` endpoint can be used to determine if the marketplace is ready to
+receive requests.
+
+## File Storage
+
+Extensions must be both copied as a vsix and extracted to the following path:
+
+```
+<extensions-dir>/<publisher>/<extension name>/<version>/
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```
+extensions
+|-- ms-python
+|   `-- python
+|       `-- 2022.14.0
+|           |-- [Content_Types].xml
+|           |-- extension
+|           |-- extension.vsixmanifest
+|           `-- ms-python.python-2022.14.0.vsix
+`-- vscodevim
+    `-- vim
+        `-- 1.23.2
+            |-- [Content_Types].xml
+            |-- extension
+            |-- extension.vsixmanifest
+            `-- vscodevim.vim-1.23.2.vsix
+```
+
+## Usage in code-server
+
+```
+export EXTENSIONS_GALLERY='{"serviceUrl":"https://<domain>/api", "itemUrl":"https://<domain>/item", "resourceUrlTemplate": "https://<domain>/files/{publisher}/{name}/{version}/{path}"}'
+code-server
+```
+
+If code-server reports content security policy errors ensure that the
+marketplace is running behind an https URL.
+
+## Reverse proxy
+
+To host the marketplace behind a reverse proxy set either the `Forwarded` header
+or both the `X-Forwarded-Host` and `X-Forwarded-Proto` headers.
+
+The marketplace does not support being hosted behind a base path; it must be
+proxied at the root of your domain.
+
+## Getting extensions
+
+If an extension is open source you can get it from one of three locations:
+
+1. GitHub releases (if the extension publishes releases to GitHub).
+2. Open VSX (if the extension is published to Open VSX).
+3. Building from source.
+
+For example to download the Python extension from Open VSX:
+
+```
+mkdir -p extensions/ms-python/python/2022.14.0
+wget https://open-vsx.org/api/ms-python/python/2022.14.0/file/ms-python.python-2022.14.0.vsix
+unzip ms-python.python-2022.14.0.vsix -d extensions/ms-python/python/2022.14.0
+mv ms-python.python-2022.14.0.vsix extensions/ms-python/python/2022.14.0
+```
+
+Make sure to both extract the contents *and* copy/move the `.vsix` file.
+
+If an extension has dependencies those must be added as well.  An extension's
+dependencies can be found in the extension's `package.json` under
+`extensionDependencies`.
+
+Extensions under `extensionPack` in the extension's `package.json` can be added
+as well although doing so is not required.
+
+## Development
+
+```
+make test
+mkdir -p extensions
+go run ./cmd/marketplace/main.go server --extensions-dir ./extensions
+```
+
+When testing with code-server you may run into issues with content security
+policy if the marketplace runs on a different domain over HTTP; in this case you
+will need to disable content security policy in your browser or manually edit
+the policy in code-server's source.
+
+When you make a change that affects people deploying the marketplace please
+update the changelog as part of your PR.
+
+## Missing features
+
+- Recommended extensions.
+- Featured extensions.
+- Download counts.
+- Ratings.
+- Searching by popularity.
+- Published, released, and updated dates for extensions (for example this will
+  cause bogus release dates to show for versions).
+- Frontend for browsing available extensions.
+- Extension validation (only the marketplace owner can add extensions anyway).
+- Adding and updating extensions by extension authors.
+
+## Planned work
+
+- jFrog integration for file storage.
+- Helm chart for deployment.
