code-server failing to start. Code exited Error 127

Hi @xaykogeki,

This is because you use a 3.x.x version of Code-Server

Take a look at the release note of the 3.0 version here : https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/tag/3.0.0 « Code-server files are no longer packed into a single binary » (binary you try to copy from the code-server DL folder to /usr/local/bin when you follow the tutorial)

You have to move the whole folder or use a 2.x.x. version of Code-Server (2.1698 is the last one which is working with the tutorial)

I reported it so the tutorial could be updated

Hi @xaykogeki,

Unfortunately, there could be a variety of errors which we won’t be able to forsee. Having said that, can you confirm the errors that get logged on your droplet?

There are a few ways you can do that. The first and easiest would be to check the journalctl. When you try and start/restart your code-server and it fails, the error will be immediately logged in the journalctl. You can see it by doing

journalctl -xe 

Once you have the error, provide it here so that we can have some idea where to start troubleshooting.
