Notes

I know Copilot extension does not exist in OpenVSIX, but it can still be installed manually by downloading the extension from Marketplace.

After installing, it seems to be working, and e.g. Autocompletion actually works without much issues. However, things such as CoPilot Chat are apparently broken.

Is there any effort, if I may ask, to make CoPilot work with Code Server, either through the official extension or something else?

Many thanks

It is not something we can actively support because the marketplace's terms of service do not allow installing their assets into code-server.

I believe there are similar third-party extensions that work though.

But, if you see a specific error in the logs, you can post that and maybe we can figure it out. I will close this for now.
