Running Coder in a Docker container would get stuck on waiting for shared process to start

[sr229]

code-server does not seem to like Docker well or does not like the pseudo-user hacks for it.

Tested with my custom Coder stack.

• code-server version: =< 1.13.0
• OS Version: Debian 9, Google Cloud Platform

Related to #9

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run chinodesuuu/coder
2. Notice the logs that its stuck in waiting for shared process to start.

Is it related to #13?

This is interesting. I've used it using ubuntu as the base-image and it seems to do fine. Will test!

for me this seems to boil down to something in 18.10 being the breaking factor. 18.04 works, 18.10 doesn't (inside or out of docker)

just to add another data point: the same issue happens on my Arch Linux install, kernel version 5.0.0

@0xfd000000 it works fine on my Arch Linux powered laptop. It must be something related to the dependencies...

It was mentioned that installing netstat resolved it for someone. Might be worth a shot.

confirmed, installing net-tools on ubuntu fixed the issue both on bare metal and in Docker. That's a strange one.

Wonderful. We’ll have to throw an error if we see it isn’t installed.

ACK installing net-tools fixed in on Arch, too

Thanks for letting me know @bketelsen. Image will be updated !anually soon

Alright can confirm Coder requires net-tools to work. Do I close this or wait for the commit that throws the error when net-tools isn't installed?

[kylecarbs]

Let’s wait for the commit. Could be confusing to people in the meantime

There is also an official docker image now so that should alleviate this.

This is now a resolved issue. Closing.
