Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

• I am using a secure context.

Notes

No response

My remote OS is clear linux, but the same experience. Rolling back was a good initial workaround for me. I am using "auth: password" in my config, and wonder if that has anything to do with the issue.

[geometa]

remote os debian，is same problem

[fnandomaia]

Same error here after update my 3 VPS.
All of them is not working now.
Same blank screen.

• Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
• Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
• Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Even trying to completely remove code-server and installing a previous version, it is not working properly.
Solution for now is back to version 4.96.4.
Command:
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 4.96.4

Host system Ubuntu with docker install of Code-Server. Got the white screen after the latest update (Linuxserver.io version: 4.97.2-ls255). I disabled all plugins and get the same white screen.

[vxplore]

I also have same issue

[vxplore]

Solved
with
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 4.96.2

[vxplore]

It seems that the latest have some issue

[zigarot]

for what it's worth, I'm not using authentication on my local network, also the same issue (white screen), running in docker, watchtower updated it this morning and suddenly no go.

Have resolved currently via editing my docker compose in the image section:

services:
  code-server:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:4.96.4
    container_name: code-server

As mentioned above, if you specify the version and install it, you can use it normally without any issues.
There seems to be an issue with the recently released version.

VERSION=4.96.4
curl -fsSL -o code-server.deb "https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases/download/v4.96.4/code-server_4.96.4_amd64.deb"
sudo dpkg -i code-server.deb

[...] apparently insecure connections are now just not supported.

Ah interesting. So to summarize, the problem is caused by "cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'bind')" in uuid.ts, which is calling crypto.randomUUID.bind(crypto).

For web crypto functions to be undefined, code-server would have to be loaded in an insecure context. It looks like in 1.97.0 the VS Code folks changed this function to always use web crypto instead of conditionally, so now it errors: microsoft/vscode@8ad5ac5

I am not sure if they would consider this a bug (my guess is they would say an insecure context is not supported since there are other features they use that also require a secure context like service workers), but I will close this issue for now since it is from VS Code itself.

Actually, turns out there is an upstream issue we can follow, looks like it is considered a regression and will be fixed? microsoft/vscode#240334

@code-asher Great find!

Thanks for the clarification.
