Unable to connect with --link

[SamHep0803]

• Web Browser: Safari
• Local OS: iPadOS 14.3
• Remote OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Remote Architecture: x86_64
• code-server --version: 3.9.0 fc6d123

When running code-server --link, the process starts successfully however when you go to the link given in the server output, the error Error connecting to your code-server instance shows up when you go to the site.

Initially, no error gets thrown in the terminal however after around 1 hour,
[2021-02-16T09:59:22.641Z] info 2021/02/16 09:59:22 [ERR] yamux: Failed to read header: failed to get reader: failed to read frame header: EOF

is logged.

Thanks, Sam.

Downgrading to version 3.8.0 did not help resolve the issue, I have a feeling this may be an issue on cdr's end. I have tried getting this to work in both GCP and DigitalOcean to no avail.

Tried to repro this but could not - do you have any additional steps that could help in reproducing it?

[SamHep0803]

Honestly not really, it's a very strange issue.

I installed code-server with the install script, as is the recommended way in the docs and that was basically it. I have to mention that it was working 2 days ago but now it's not.

[SamHep0803]

I have tried deleting the ~/.config/coder-cloud folder and restarting the server and that hasn't worked either.

Update: after turning on my VPN, I seem to be able to connect to the server now, however I don't see why I would need to do that.

Did it give you an error ID? We can use that to investigate further.

I have the same problem

• brand new AWS instance
• AWS free tier
• Ubuntu 20.04
• Installed with code-server with this (from https://github.com/cdr/code-server): curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
• Opened HTTP, HTTPS, Custom TCP (pot 8080), and SSH in inbound rules
• Started code-server with: code-server --link
• ...and then opened Safari on my mac and entered the https-address shown
• ...and then get: 'Error connecting to your code-server instance'

Any ideas?

A temporary fix is to use a VPN and set the region to the region of where your server is currently located, however that's just my advice and you should wait for what the devs have to say.

@parslov Did it give you an error ID? Does it persist if you visit the the https address a second time?

[parslov]

I did not get an error id. Today I went through the same process on Google Cloud, using Ubuntu 16 and opening for HTTP and HTTPS. Same result.

OK, thanks! I'll see what we can turn up.
