Login loop when going through https

[fabmene]

Hello,

I have code-server running in a LXC container with the following config:

bind-addr: 0.0.0.0:8080
auth: password
password: changeme
cert: false

and an nginx reverse proxy in a different container redirecting there:

server{
        server_name subdomain.domain.tld;
        location /{
                proxy_pass http://x.y.z.w:8080/;
                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding gzip;
        }


    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    # ...

This worked for a bit, but after changing the password for code-server, I am now experiencing a login-loop where entering a correct password drops me into the same login screen again with no feedback in either the web interface nor stdout . Incorrect password entries are detected and reported.

It does work when I access via local IP.

Upon further investigation, this seems to be an issue with local browser data. I had tried with both firefox and chromium and the issue persisted when just clearing cache. After having success from a different machine, I tried deleting all browser data for that site, which worked on both browsers.

The problem is therefore resolved for me.
