My issue is the following:I run code-server on a port (I have allowed the port with ufw) and when I try to access it, it doesn't reach it.

Above is a photo of what It looks like. How can I fix this issue? I'm running the latest version:3.4.1 48f7c2724827e526eeaa6c2c151c520f48a61259

EDIT: Apparently when I don't have code-server it says ''it can't be reached", when I start code-server it says "refused to connect".

The problem i had is not enabling proxy websocket in apache try sudo a2ensite proxy

In other words, user will still see the Ports tab and notifications, but will not be able to actually use access the ports. It is recommended to set remote.autoForwardPorts to false when using the option. You can pass the flag --disable-file-downloads to code-server · Web views rely on service workers, and service workers are only available in a secure context, so most likely the answer is that you are using an insecure context (for example an IP address).

VS Code Remote-SSH: The vscode server failed to start SSH - Stack Overflow

After a while, I found a solution that can be useful to others.

In VS Code press:

CTRL + SHIFT + P

Type or select the option:

Remote-SSH: kill VS Code Server on Host...

Select the host name:

And after this procedure, try connecting again to the host.

That worked for me.

The release notes of the new VS-Code 1.86 (Jan 2024) reads:

From this release onwards, VS Code desktop is only compatible with Linux distributions based on glibc 2.28 or later, and glibcxx 3.4.25 or later, such as Debian 10, RHEL 8, or Ubuntu 20.04.

If you don't have the required version of the mentioned programs on the server side, you better revert to the previous version of VS-Code (v1.85). To do so, uninstall your current (v1.86) VS-Code, download v1.85 from the link below, and install it. https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_85

Linux users can easily run the following command until the next release; run it after you uninstall the current (v1.86) VS-Code:

sudo apt install code-exploration

solution ：Kill VS code Server on host and reconnect maybe work

show Command Palette : ctrl + shift +p
input keyword : Remote-SSH

reconnect target serer will work

Another solution: Remote-SSH: Uninstall VS Code Server from Host work

You can find Remote-SSH: Uninstall VS Code Server from Host... via the command palette (ctrl/cmd + shift + p).

And if you select or enter the host IP, the vscode installed on that server will be uninstalled.

Then, if you connect to the server again through vscode-ssh, vscode will work well. After several attempts, I also succeeded in connecting this way.

Remote Development Tips and Tricks

November 3, 2021 - If VS Code is routed to a different machine when it creates the second connection, it won't be able to talk to the VS Code server. One workaround for this is to use the ControlMaster option in OpenSSH (macOS/Linux clients only), described in Enabling alternate SSH authentication methods, so that VS Code's two connections will be multiplexed through a single SSH connection to the same node.

So it turned out I had the pathing incorrect from how it installed via yarn.I just needed to change my path in my code-server.service file from code-server (For some this may be /usr/local/bin/code-server) to /home/pi/.yarn/bin/code-server and now it works.

r/homeassistant on Reddit: Studio Code Server won't start

September 13, 2023 -

I installed Studio Code Server and set all the options to ON (start on boot, watchdog, auto update and show in sidebar).

When I choose Studio Code Server from the sidebar, I'm presented with the following pop-up:

Studio Code Server "The ad-on is not running. Do you want to start it now?"

NO or START ADD-ON

When I choose START ADD-ON, It says: "The add-on is starting, this can take some time."

The little rotating circle continues as though it's trying to load for approximately 1 minute and then it reverts back to: "The add-on is not running. Do you want to start it now?"

I've tried restarting home assistant and trying to start again but I'm presented with the same result each time I've attempted to start it.

Any idea what's going on or something that I've missed?

Many thanks!

TLDR: just rename or delete the .vscode-server/ folder in your wsl distro, it must be in the root, otherwise when connecting to wsl, vscode would attempt to install itself on you wsl distro.

I came across a similar situation, I did have the .vscode-server/ folder in the root though.

ATENTION: What I did made me lose my vscode extensions installed in wsl, wasn't a big deal for me but may be for your case.

To solve my issue:

I opened the terminal in the wsl distro I was using for vscode;
Checked if i had the folder by running the commandcd ~/.vscode-server;
I did have it, so I just renamed it (non destructive) to ".old_vscode-server";
Then just opened a new vscode instance and connected to wsl, it installed vscode server again, but without my previous extensions;

Simply delete ~/.vscode-server/bin/dc96b837cf6bb4af9cd736aa3af08cf8279f7685, then reopen VS code. This fixed the same error in my pc without losing the installed extensions.

r/vscode on Reddit: Can't access Self hosted VS Code Server

March 2, 2025 -

Crossposting from r/selfhosted for better visibility.

I installed VS Code Server using this proxmox helper script and the installation does go through. But when accessing the service on given address, I just see blank page.

For Context:
I have tried every different option available on the web to install code-server but all of them are giving me the same result. The services give me either blank page or the password page and then blank page. The LXC Container I use is Ubuntu LTS with 4 GB RAM and 10 GB storage.

At this point, I'm 2 days out and still haven't gotten a code server instant working. This sounds like there's something wrong with the code-server implementation or I'm missing some major step.

My question to everyone here is: Has anybody else faced this issue with code-server or I'm the only one? OR can someone give the above script a try and do a test run to see if you're facing the same error?

It's broken. Update here: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-code-server/issues/194#issuecomment-2692382943 They're saying March for it to be fixed.
