## Common questions

### Which port does the LinuxServer.io VSCodium container expose?

Use port 3001 to access the containerized application.

### Where should I back up VSCodium user settings?

Back up the User folder under ~/.config/VSCodium. If you are moving from VS Code, copy your extensions and settings or keybindings files into VSCodium's folders.

### How can I clear the macOS security warning for VSCodium?

Run the provided xattr command to clear the quarantine flag from VSCodium.app. Otherwise macOS may warn and refuse to open the app because of its self-signed certificate.

### How do I configure VSCodium in an enterprise environment with Group Policy?

Copy the .admx template file to the Windows PolicyDefinitions folder and the .adml language file to its en-US subfolder. Open gpedit.msc, configure policies under the VSCodium group, and verify the resulting registry.

### Does VSCodium have telemetry enabled?

Telemetry is disabled. The project produces builds without Microsoft's telemetry, gallery, logo, and other customizations.
