### Troubleshooting

#### I see "Forbidden access" when I load code-server in the browser

This means your patches didn't apply correctly. We have a patch to remove the auth from vanilla Code because we use our own.

Try popping off the patches with `quilt pop -a` and reapplying with `quilt push -a`.

### "Can only have one anonymous define call per script"

Code might be trying to use a dev or prod HTML in the wrong context. You can try re-running code-server and setting `VSCODE_DEV=1`.

### Help

If you get stuck or need help, you can always start a new GitHub Discussion [here](https://github.com/coder/code-server/discussions). One of the maintainers will respond and help you out.
