Start code-server with the --proxy-domain flag set to your domain.

Apologies, this is more a question about Docker. However the updated FAQ doesn't really help me out here, hopefully someone can help me out and maybe add some more info to the FAQ.

I have a docker-compose file which builds my code-server instance.
How do I set this flag in my docker-compose file?
I tried setting an environment variable (like the code-server password) but that didn't work.

Right now I am not able to login to code-server because the cookie is being set to my servers local LAN IP so I can't re-authenticate. This all worked fine prior to 3.1.0

I can manually add the cookie and it works fine... it is just not getting set correctly because I can't configure the domain.

Not sure what you mean. I'll give you an example of how to set it up:

DNS record code-server.org points to my server 1.1.1.1.

DNS record 3000.code-server.org also points to my server 1.1.1.1.

code-server --proxy-domain *.code-server.org will forward 3000, or any port in that subdomain to the requested port on your server, all behind code-server auth.

Happy to elaborate, just let me know!

Hi Kyle - Thanks, yes I understand how it all works. I’ve had it working fine prior to 3.1.

I just don’t know how to add the proxy domain flag to a docker image? I’m not running the executable myself - docker is. Unsure where the flag needs to go. Do you use docker-compose?

Ahh forget it @kylecarbs - I just saw this in another closed issue.

I just needed to update my nginx config to pass on the host header, no need to worry about the proxy-domain argument.
