code server not installing on raspberry pi

[rlarudqls630]

I am trying to install code server on raspberry pi but after running
sudo curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
this line, I am getting some weired message.

Done in 448.73s.

npm package has been installed.

Extend your path to use code-server:
PATH="$(yarn global bin):$PATH"
Then run with:
code-server

It says success, but I am not able to run the code server using code-server command.

please hlep
thank you.

@jsjoeio can you remove the really abusive message? Doesn't look good here. And as an answer, there is a bug with one of the dependencies so you can't install code-server yet... Tracked in another discussion, so there is a kinda big and I am waiting too, so Raspberry Pi users gotta wait.

[im-coder-lg]

Hmm... Maybe @rlarudqls630 did the same as @Slodziak190q, npm i code-server or yarn add code-server instead of npm i -g code-server or yarn add global code-server(maybe even yarn global add code-server`). But still it's blocked.

I wonder if we could mark it as an optional dependency as a workaround?

Is it possible? I think it might screw up something. If it's a problem with Argon2, we gotta tell them and get a simple solution. By the way, what is Argon2 used for here?

I would love to unblock Raspberry Pi users

Same here. I can't find a valid reason to use my Raspberry Pi, other than checking simple DEs, like MATE, Xfce. If this happens, I could try the new Link features, and even make some websites from that.

And, yeah, I have a small idea. Can we make a discussion about public issues known to the maintainers so that people can know that there is already a Public Issues discussion with their(kinda sometimes new bugs can occur) bug. We can make a to-do list and loop the bug there, so it will display the bug name too, and if solved, we can cross that out(the - [x] in markdown) and we can inform people that the bug is solved.

Problem with all raspberry pi is that rpi can only run code-server 3.10.0 so @rlarudqls630 should run the command
sudo npm install -g [email protected] --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
it worked for me

I am currently running it different way.
Windows are allowing users to download Ubuntu on the system.
So I installed Ubuntu and running cod-server in the background.

I guess you can do the same thing with raspberry pi as well.
I believe that you can install Ubuntu on raspberry pi.

Dude, it ain't gonna work. Since on Raspberry Pis, you need to use NPM only. The deb installation file wornt work since Raspberry Pis are 32-bit systems.

Maybe! Well I did a quick search and found this. Maybe you have to build from source on Pi to get it working. If someone wants to try, that would be awesome.

By the way, what is Argon2 used for here?

Hashing passwords! Well if I recall correctly, we store the password hashed instead of plaintext.

Can we make a discussion about public issues known to the maintainers so that people can know that there is already a Public Issues discussion with their(kinda sometimes new bugs can occur) bug. We can make a to-do list and loop the bug there, so it will display the bug name too, and if solved, we can cross that out(the - [x] in markdown) and we can inform people that the bug is solved.

Fantastic idea! Do you mind writing an example here and then I can create a new Discussion, tag you and pin it?

[im-coder-lg]

Well, I can't since I am busy(that's why the mention would have showed the tag) but I will try it by the time I can use my laptop(I don't have it right now) but if you can, list out a common bug and add it in the checklist like this:

-[ ] #issuenumber

That has to do the job. The rest can be curated by you. I will check every few hours so I can't respond quickly as I used to.

[im-coder-lg]

Well, can you try on a safe Gitpod environment(building Argon2 from source)? If it works there, it might work here too! I promised an Asciicast but can't do that till I get my laptop.

If you are up for that, visit the Argon2 repo, and in the URL, don't change anything, just add gitpod.io/#/ and the URL. Then log in via GitHub, give the required perms and then you are in charge.

Oh good to know! Okay this Discussion is getting long so I think I'll summarize investigating argon2 in a new issue and we'll track there.
