Does this issue happen in VS Code?

Lol no worries. This issue doesn't seem to be related to that. I'll have to see if I can reproduce locally on my Android phone.

this is my script that i used to install code-server.

pkg install vim git wget proot yarn
pkg install ripgrep
ln -s $PREFIX/bin/rg ./lib/vscode/node_modules/vscode-ripgrep/bin/rg
pkg install binutils
v=$(node -v); v=${v#v}; v=${v%%.*}
FORCE_NODE_VERSION="$v" yarn global add code-server --ignore-engines
yarn global add semver-umd applicationinsights @coder/node-browser yauzl yazl spdlog

@blackpancake what version of Node are you using? And was it working before with any previous versions of code-server?

@blackpancake what version of Node are you using? And was it working before with any previous versions of code-server?

i am using v17.4.0 and i enabled FORCE_NODE_VERSION to force the code-server that should be installed in v14 to be installed in v17

Closing this out due to age, and permission issues do not seem to be something we can fix in code-server, the permission issue just has to be resolved. If it is still a problem maybe changing the data directory to somewhere Termux can write will help?
