build: remove legacy server support #235232

deepak1556 · 2024-12-04T05:19:02Z

DO NOT MERGE until March 2025

deepak1556 · 2024-12-04T12:09:31Z

Behavior moving forward

Server requirements check will fail with error code 99 on legacy systems, this code is already handled by devcontainers and wsl extension to surface appropriate error message to the users.
Cli will also error on legacy systems and ssh extension should already be handling this error
Existence of file /tmp/vscode-skip-server-requirements-check will skip the requirements check in both cases 1) and 2) as before, this will be preserved so that users can override with their custom build of Node.js binary

Thank you for your work on this. I appreciate your efforts to get this out early enough that we can build confidence in whatever workarounds we may choose to use.

We are exploring an option for Remote SSH that allows providing a custom glibc path to the vscode server which could serve as a temporary workaround, this mode will be tagged as unsupported but provides a way to not disable vscode updates until your system can be transitioned. The flow would be as follows,

User attempts to connect to a legacy system with remote ssh
Server checks the prerequisites and bails out with error message, it will point out to our website docs that has instructions to create the custom glibc (using crosstool-ng) that is required for the specific version of vscode server
User creates the custom glibc and sets the following 3 environment variables to the login profile,

VSCODE_SERVER_CUSTOM_GLIBC_LINKER -> path to the dynamic linker in the sysroot (used for --set-interpreter with patchelf)
VSCODE_SERVER_CUSTOM_GLIBC_PATH -> path to the library locations in the sysroot (used as --set-rpath with patchelf)
VSCODE_SERVER_PATHELF_PATH -> path to the patchelf binary

User re-attempts to connect with remote ssh
Dialog prompted to confirm connection to unsupported system (choice will be persisted per remote authority)
Connection successful

Here is a quick demo of the above, @murkvin and others please provide feedback if this helps your case. I will provide links to the builds once they are ready later today.

Hi @deepak1556,

I'm checking in here on the status of available samples. If they are available, could you provide sample builds for VS Code + Remote - SSH?

deepak1556 · 2025-01-23T01:00:04Z

@murkvin sorry for delay here, we are still testing and polishing the flow. But if you would like to try it out today here are the bits,

VS Code Build: 05e3e50

SSH extension

Remote - SSH extension version >= 0.117.2025012315

Docs

Some starter docs to build the required sysroot - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/pull/7953/files

murkvin · 2025-01-24T01:45:04Z

Excellent! Thank you for the follow-up. I really appreciate your collaboration here. At this stage, things seem to be working!

I improvised a bit on the instructions (especially around creating the sysroots). Based on your comment, it sounds like you're still working on some of that, so I won't jump ahead there.

One note that I do want to share is that folks should check their patchelf versions. 0.17.0 was causing node to segfault. I fixed the issue by upgrading patchelf.

I have updated the docs yesterday https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/pull/7953/files, can you check again and if there is something to be added please share.

One note that I do want to share is that folks should check their patchelf versions. 0.17.0 was causing node to segfault. I fixed the issue by upgrading patchelf.

Good point to add in the docs, I have been testing with 0.18. There is one issue I am aware of NixOS/patchelf#524 the order of the calls matter otherwise it can lead to corrupted binaries.

An you please add to the docs an approximation of how much MB will be downloaded and how long this takes to built?

And... as the workaround is available that way - is there a reason to not distribute a "ready to use" sysroot which could be downloaded and semi-automated for remote-development?

GhislainC · 2025-01-27T08:40:23Z

Hello @deepak1556 ,

I tried to download the win32-x64-archive at https://vscode.download.prss.microsoft.com/dbazure/download/insider/05e3e508d2c3a9761665d661e5c4e1e73ee54ad0/VSCode-win32-x64-1.97.0-insider.zip but I am experiencing a gateway error :

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
X-DSGatewayServiceAPI-ErrorCode: 20012
X-DSGatewayServiceAPI-ErrorMessage: GatewayServiceFileDetails Response is not in success state.

Can you help me ? I need the archive one to test in "portable" mode and to not alter my current vscode installation.

Thanks

Ghislain

deepak1556 · 2025-01-27T10:50:02Z

@GhislainC I can confirm the error, seems like the win32 archive failed to publish. Let me retrigger build off a new commit, will post here again once the bits are published.

@GitMensch

An you please add to the docs an approximation of how much MB will be downloaded and how long this takes to built?

Not sure if I understood this correctly, but the sysroot will not be downloaded by the remote server it has to be predeployed on the remotes and the env variables configured were you expect the server to connect.

is there a reason to not distribute a "ready to use" sysroot which could be downloaded and semi-automated for remote-development?

We are dropping support for legacy servers due to maintenance reasons, maintaining the sysroot will be no different. The workaround exists to ease transition of systems that can build and deploy the sysroots without having to disable VSCode updates.

VS Code Build: be8b8da

GhislainC · 2025-01-27T15:46:32Z

Hello,

I tested with the Vscode insider build with a clean environment (portable mode with fresh empty data folder) but I have an issue : the 3 environment variables seem not to be read from the .profile because sh is launched in non-interactive mode :

As you can see on the following screenshot, when sh is not called with -l flag, the .profile is not sourced.

Do you agree with my analysis ?

As a consequence, the server refuses to launch:

Do you have a workaround to pass the needed info to the server?

OS: RHEL7

deepak1556 · 2025-01-27T17:04:26Z

@GhislainC you can try https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4921/sh-startup-files-over-ssh/ or remote commands with remote.ssh.enableRemoteCommand. I suggest asking in a public forum to get better response since this is less specific to the ssh extension.

GhislainC · 2025-01-29T14:33:01Z

Ok thanks. It works now for remote SSH (I have to tune a little bit the provided crosstool-ng's config).

I tested the sysroot with both RemoteSSH (RHEL7) and Dev Containers (centos7), it works!

Thanks for your solution allowing us to continue to work. Thank you also @deepak1556 for your quick and efficient assistance on this thread.

Hi @deepak1556
is there a workaround can solve the kernel version requirement? I'm using ubuntu 14.04 with 4.4 kernel version, which causing following error after installing sysroot and patchelf：

the kernel info: 4.4.0-31-generic

thanks

GhislainC · 2025-02-12T07:21:46Z

Hi @liximin
You need to choose a kernel version in your crosstool-ng's config file, older than your current kernel.
To edit the config, use the crosstool-ng's wizard (ct-ng menuconfig), do not edit the config file directly.

I faced exactly the same problem with RedHat 7

@GhislainC thank you , it works now.

sfc-gh-abalik · 2025-02-14T18:05:53Z

I tried this out and it worked. Thanks for providing a workaround for those of us stuck on old OS's!

Minor thing - the correct patchelf variable to set is VSCODE_SERVER_PATCHELF_PATH.
There was an earlier comment with a typo on that variable - VSCODE_SERVER_PATHELF_PATH. That tripped me up for a bit.
