I'm using vscode remote tunnels to access a research Linux machine that is not directly accessible via SSH.
The issue is that due to the particular setup of the machine, the home directory is very limited in size and one is expected to store all data on a network drive or separately mounted disk.
As such I need to install the vscode server that I use to access the machine onto a non-default location outside the home directory.
Searching for how to set this up, I found this related StackOverflow post. However it describes using the SSH remote development extensions and applying the suggested change did not change the install directory of the vscode server.
