Is this strictly true? In air-gapped networks, you can use self-signed certificates or certificates signed by an internal certificate authority, and if you control DNS then everything is OK.
I think this statement is fine but would suggest we soften it to "For serving code-server over HTTPS, we recommend using an external domain name along with a service such as Let's Encrypt"

This looks great. I’m curious how we can test such domains in the future, maybe updating the health check endpoint to ping itself to see if the server is accessible from the outside.
Yes, that would be really cool! I'll make a new issue. |
