In fact, Stackify Prefix has its own code extension in the Marketplace - the easiest and most powerful. New extensions are added regularly, and you can find tools, libraries of snippets, and just about anything else you could want to streamline the development process. All files and data are stored on the local file system which makes maintenance and backup super simple.Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code provides developers with a robust marketplace packed with useful tools and extensions that make VS Code even more functional and customizable to meet every developer’s needs. The whole system runs as a single self-contained executable and uses no database. It really is ultra simple to configure and run. Vsgallery is a single executable file which acts as a complete self hosted extension gallery for Visual Studio 2010 and newer. Just download the latest release and run the executable file. The VS Gallery solutionīefore I bore you with more text, go ahead and test vsgallery out. I wanted something simple and self-contained that could be run without installing and configuring multiple other systems (such as a webserver and a database system). With the current rise in popularity of the Microservice I found it really disappointing that a simple click-to-run solution wasn't available to run a private Visual Studio Marketplace. The VS-Gallery running inside of Visual Studio's Extension Manager So there really is no freely available out-of-the-box solution available. The worst thing about most of the automatic offerings is that they require being run on an existing webserver (IIS, Apache, Ngix, etc) and require a relational database system to store data. There are some half-automated solutions out there, others very manual. The popular Nexus Repository by Sonatype dropped support for VSIX files in their latest version (v3). The main one is purely online and regretfully not free. Unfortunately the commercial offerings are incredibly limited. Neither is there a simple way to leverage the advanced features the Extension Manager provides (such as search, ratings and download counts). There are no concrete implementations available from Microsoft nor any others on how to host and serve these files. Microsoft has addressed this issue but only through documentaton.

TL DR I built one Private Extension Galleries You need to host your own private marketplace. The public marketplace is no place for internal company extensions unfortunately.
