try to run with --log debug. but the .local/share/code-server/coder-logs/code-server-stderr.log is empty.

I'm not sure what exactly is happening there - does code-server print any logs to the terminal?

It seems that there is no useful information😨😨

I have the same issue too. I'll post what I can to see if it helps

@J3n5en actually reading back at the messages, it may be this part where we are failing "Remember --link is a beta feature and requires being accepted for testing"

[code-asher]

I think it is still beta, but it no longer requires being accepted.

Hi, I'm receiving the following error. Any idea about this?

@lezwon

Name must conform to regex ^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,50}$

You should modify your computer name to match the regular expression🤔🤔

[lezwon]

It's in Google colab

[J3n5en]

It's in Google colab

@lezwon try to custom instance name by

code-server --link lezwon

[lezwon]

@J3n5en that worked. Thanks a lot mate. 👍

[pillows]

Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Is there any settings I need to change or provide any logs that can help?

[mistrysiddh]

It's in Google colab

@lezwon try to custom instance name by

code-server --link lezwon

i tried it on my colab but not working

[lezwon]

Yea. it does not work for me anymore too. I'm not sure if colab is blocking tunnels.
