Enhancement Request: Ability to set a custom location for configuration files e.g .dbtools

Matt MulvaneyJun 5 2025

The scenario is: I'm using SQL Developer for VS Code Extension where VSCode Server is deployed over a SSH connection to a Oracle Cloud DB Service box using to a custom VS Code server install path remote.SSH.serverInstallPath

I'm using a custom VS Code server install path because the Oracle Cloud DB Service box has barely any free space on /home/ where it would've installed without this setting. This remote.SSH.serverInstallPath setting also allows me to install the SQL Developer Extension in a custom location which has more space.

Due to this space restriction I need to protect /home/ at all costs. However SQL Developer for VS Code Extension is still storing some configuration files/folders (e.g .dbtools, perhaps others) in /home/opc i.e. the user I'm remoting with.

In the Settings, I'd like to be able to set a custom location for SQL Developer for VS Code Extension configuration files. Or are there any workarounds others have used in similar situations?
