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 commentedon Feb 17, 2021
Honestly not really, it's a very strange issue.
I installed
code-serverwith 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 commentedon Feb 17, 2021
I have tried deleting the
~/.config/coder-cloudfolder and restarting the server and that hasn't worked either.SamHep0803 commentedon Feb 17, 2021
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.
code-asher commentedon Feb 18, 2021
Did it give you an error ID? We can use that to investigate further.
parslov commentedon Feb 22, 2021
I have the same problem
Any ideas?

@parslov Did it give you an error ID? Does it persist if you visit the the https address a second time?
parslov commentedon Feb 23, 2021
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.
code-asher commentedon Feb 23, 2021
OK, thanks! I'll see what we can turn up.

Unfortunately, no updates. I reached out to the developer but haven't heard back yet.
SamHep0803 commentedon Jul 20, 2021
Been more then a month now, still no update?
jsjoeio commentedon Jul 20, 2021
Apologies. We're a small team (code-server). I'll ping them again and see if I can get any update.
Worst case: they come back and say we won't be able to fix it.
Best case: they say they can and I can share more information.
Other scenario: if I could collect data and say, "this is affecting X number of users in the code-server community and we should prioritize" then that might help.
Give this message a 👍 if you're experiencing this issue still.
jsjoeio commentedon Jul 20, 2021
Okay I got a response.
I spoke to the developer. We're working on some networking changes in the enterprise product going from WebSockets to WebRTC. Eventually those changes will make their way into coder-cloud (powers
--link+ code-server) in which case, will solve this issue. I don't have an ETA but will share updates on this thread as I have themSamHep0803 commentedon Jul 20, 2021

I hope so too and thank you for understanding.

This is nice there is a good chain here. Learning how to github / programming because of you guys... so thanks for having a great product and am looking forward to the correction.
It appears for me that it times out, if I haven't done anything in the system I feel like cdr.co just terminates the connection. (It's free so, hey... i get it.) But these are the similar errors I am getting.
As the project develops more will --link be intergrated? I'd be willing to pay some monies to get it running. I love being able to go to a webpage and keep coding.
jsjoeio commentedon Jul 29, 2021
Hmm...that's unusual. Do you mind telling us a bit about your setup?
Hopefully, but don't want to make any promises. We are having internal discussions about improving and better integrating and promoting --link.
If you ever want to chat more about that, feel free to shoot me an email joe@coder.com — we do have some things in the pipeline so otherwise you'll have to keep an eye out!

Went from Italy to Portugal, it worked in Italy but now it doesn't work here in Lisbon. I'm running it off the Frankfurt region in GCP. Restarting or rebooting don't solve the issue.
code-asher commentedon Dec 20, 2021
It looks like the link project has been shelved, possibly indefinitely. I am not sure how far the rewrite got but it seems not far enough before the plug was pulled.
I think the only thing we can recommend now is to set up a domain and a reverse proxy, possibly Caddy since it handles certificates for you or with some of the other methods listed here: https://github.com/coder/code-server/blob/main/docs/guide.md#setup-guide
