+* Set "Server Download Url Template" to
 `https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/releases/download/openvscode-server-v${version}/openvscode-server-v${version}-${os}-${arch}.tar.gz`
 (otherwise it will download VSCodium server-side builds by default).
+* Set "Experimental: Server Binary Name" to `openvscode-server` (otherwise it will try to launch remote `code-server-oss` which does not exist and never will, taking its name from Code OSS `product.json`).

 Exit `code-oss`.
 
 Add `"enable-proposed-api": ["jeanp413.open-remote-ssh"]` at the root level of `~/.vscode-oss/argv.json`.

 Run `code-oss` again, you'll get remote button under the marketplace button.
 Go there, add your host, right-click it, connect.
 Connection should be successful, and you should see "connected to remote" on Code OSS main screen.

 "Open folder" should take you to the remote directory structure, allowing you to open projects hosted in container.
 All code-related extensions will also work in remote context, isolated from the parent system and unable to affect it,
 no matter what malicious npm packages get installed into container.
