error: code-server didn't start in time: context deadline exceeded

[magick93]

Hello

When I try to run sshcode I get the below error.

I'm running this command on Ubuntu 19.04, and am connecting to Centos 7.

This is a known issue. See #97. I would recommend, if possible, to change your remote instance to Ubuntu 19.04.

[Magistern]

Ok, now I'm going to harass you in this repo as well 😊
I also get the error (on OSX)
After 73 000 lines of code and files listed! (are those downloaded somewhere?) I get this:

which kind of feels like the error I got from sail as well.

[teddy-codes]

It looks like you are trying to connect to a pi. This is a known issue with sshcode. You should try to have the remote instance be ubuntu 18.10 or 19.04.

Also, as a note: those are all of your vsc extensions that were downloaded.

Edit: spelling

[Magistern]

version v0.8.0
How do I set the remote instance be ubuntu 18.10 or 19.04? (I don't even know what that means)

regarding downloading: Oh I see,Code server is downloaded on the remote machine?

[teddy-codes]

That is correct. With Sail, code-server is running within the docker container.

Can you run lsb_release -a on the remote instance and provide the output here?

[Magistern]

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Raspbian
Description:	Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)
Release:	9.4
Codename:	stretch

[teddy-codes]

Yea, the OS is Raspbian which I don't think is officially supported by code-server.

Also, as a note: code-server requires about 1gb of ram for startup and initialization (so a pi would not go very far).

If you are just using a pi to offload the backend work, then I would recommend just rending a $10 lightsail instance of similar from other providers.

[Magistern]

okidokeli. I see. Thanks

[deansheather]

We're working on reducing the RAM usage of code-server and adding ARM builds so you can run it on a Raspberry Pi. Once we've added these builds we'll make sure sshcode downloads the matching build to the remote host.

I am getting the same issue on a centOS ( cPanel ) server and can't connect with sshcode :(

CentOS has an old version of glibc which causes problems with code-server. See coder/code-server#239
