Question
code-server failing to start. Code exited Error 127
Hi All,
I’ve been following this instruction from Digital Ocean how to set up a code-server in a droplet.
Everytime I start the service, it would be failing to start.
The version I downloaded is 3.1.0 from the latest build of code-server.
Any advice is appreciated.

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