Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

• I am using a secure context.

Notes

code-server is running in a container with unix socket configuration and accessed over nginx that runs on another container.

Is the profile stored on the remote server or in the browser's local storage?

Is the profile stored on the remote server or in the browser's local storage?

Profile's configuration files (settings.json, extensions.js ...) is on the remote, '~/.local/share/code-server/User/profiles/profileid/'.

Profiles are stored in the browser's local storage. Cross reference:

• Profiles and portability #6922

[ahfakt]

It's acceptable to set same configuration on each browser if it would be possible to make them don't overwrite other's configurations.

I am experiencing this issue as well. Can’t use profiles with multiple browsers at the moment.
