Extensions installed as root are not visible to remoteUser

[masaki-kuraya]

Description

When remoteUser is set to a non-root user in devcontainer.json, extensions specified via the extensions option are installed to /root/.local/share/code-server/extensions/ during the build phase.

At runtime, code-server runs as the remoteUser and looks in ~remoteUser/.local/share/code-server/extensions/, so the installed extensions are not visible.

Reproduction

{
  "remoteUser": "vscode",
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/coder/devcontainer-features/code-server:1": {
      "extensions": "ms-python.python,dbaeumer.vscode-eslint"
    }
  }
}

# Extensions exist under root but not under remoteUser
$ sudo ls /root/.local/share/code-server/extensions/
dbaeumer.vscode-eslint-3.0.20-universal
ms-python.python-2026.0.0-universal

$ ls ~/.local/share/code-server/extensions/
# (empty)

Cause

In install.sh, the extension installation runs as root without switching to $_REMOTE_USER:

for extension in "${extensions[@]}"
do
    code-server --install-extension "$extension"
done

$_REMOTE_USER is available and used correctly in the entrypoint generation below, but not here.

This should now be fixed in version 2.0.0 of the feature

Confirmed, working as expected. Thanks!
