How are you starting code-server?

[alvin0530]

I follow the instruction below

curl -fOL https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases/download/v4.6.0/code-server_4.6.0_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i code-server_4.6.0_amd64.deb sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER

https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/guide#using-lets-encrypt-with-nginx

I'd just update code-server to 4.6.0 and restart it.

But it doesn't work.

Can you share the contents of config.yaml? (make sure to redact the password)

[alvin0530]

bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8080 auth: password password: password cert: false

Thanks! Hmm...if you access directly (no nginx) does it work as expected?
