Why does the Continue VS Code extension continue to run in the background even after closing VS Code?


idk if there is an automatic solution for this or i need to do it manually every time in the task manager but this vs code extension is not closing whenever i close vs code i found it there eating my beloved ram storage any idea?

i try to look for a solution but no one seem to have this problem or maybe this extension is not famous as i think its https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Continue.continue link for this extension


Solution

  • This seems to be documented behaviour:

    The Continue server is a Python server that runs locally on your computer allowing complete privacy. It handles indexing the codebase, constructing prompts, storing and loading configuration, and more. To allow quick startup times, the server will run on your computer in the background, even while not using Continue. If you'd like to stop the server yourself, the process runs on port 65432, and also depends on an instance of Meilisearch running on port 7700.
