Problem Description

I have deployed marketplace following the deployment guide. The service is up and I am able to add a collection of extensions (vsix files) to the marketplace. But I failed to download extension from the marketplace, following the Usage in code-server guide, the following error occurs.

export EXTENSIONS_GALLERY='{"serviceUrl":"https://<domain>/api", "itemUrl":"https://<domain>/item", "resourceUrlTemplate": "https://<domain>/files/{publisher}/{name}/{version}/{path}"}'
code-server

Error Details

Install with code-server CLI (/app/code-server/lib/vscode/bin/remote-cli/code-server):

#> {
#>   "type": "extensionManagement",
#>   "install": [
#>     "formulahendry.auto-close-tag"
#>   ],
#>   "force": false
#> }
#> Installing extensions on condapack.coderdev.com...
#> Installing extension 'formulahendry.auto-close-tag'...
#> Error while installing extension formulahendry.auto-close-tag: [object Object]
#> Failed Installing Extensions: formulahendry.auto-close-tag

Install with code-server:

/app/code-server/bin/code-server --verbose --install-extension formulahendry.auto-close-tag
#> [2024-06-06T00:47:48.148Z] debug Found VS Code arguments; spawning VS Code CLI
#> [2024-06-06T00:47:48.150Z] debug Running Code CLI
#> Installing extensions...
#> Error while installing extensions: unable to verify the first certificate
#> unable to verify the first certificate

In addition, if I try to install extension without launching code-service service when building image, the same error occurs. I think the code-service service is not related to extension installation. Is that right?

After launching the coder-server, I can see all the extensions I have added to the marketplace from the extensions management page and the extension page, if I click one of the extensions.

If I click the title on the extension detail page, I can see the extension's URL, like

https://marketplace.coderdev.com/item?itemName=formulahendry.auto-close-tag

where the domain is indeed my own host. But if I try to click "install" on the page, it still fails with the following log in the "Output" window of Code.

2024-06-06 08:58:27.074 [error] Error: unable to verify the first certificate

    at ssl.onhandshakedone (node:_tls_wrap:803:12)

which complains the same about "unable to verify the first certificate" as that of using code-server to install from terminal.

Potential Issue

The certificate of the deploy domain is not trusted by code-server CLI, and adding self-signed certificate/root CA certificate to the system's trust store has no effect.

I have added the root CA certificate to the code-server's host system (build into the container image), which can be verified by perform the following querying in code-server's terminal:

curl -v https://marketplace.coderdev.com/healthz
*   Trying 172.28.76.31:443...

So, why code-server CLI cannot trust the certificate of my domain marketplace.coderdev.com?
