I started hosting remote extension host for FreeBSD (and also Linux) at the following URL:
https://github.com/tagattie/FreeBSD-VSCode/releases
By setting
remote.SSH.serverDownloadUrlTemplateto the following value:https://github.com/tagattie/FreeBSD-VSCode/releases/download/${version}/vscode-reh-${os}-${arch}-${version}.tar.gzno manual installation of remote extension host should be necessary when users of VSCode on FreeBSD connect to remote FreeBSD/Linux hosts.
In addition, make it try to use
fetchwhen eitherwgetorcurlis not available. (fetchis available on FreeBSD by default).
