An extensions server is a MIDAS instance having the plugins slicerpackages and slicerappstore installed.
Assuming you install your own extensions server, it is possible to manage, serve and distribute extensions yourself. As depicted on the image below, Slicer users will have to set a different extensions server in Edit -> Application Settings -> Extensions.
