Error connecting to your code-server instance

[drmrbrewer]

I am trying to deploy code-server on a Hetzner cloud server... I expected this to be the same process as for digitalocean because after all it's just an Ubuntu server and there is also the option with Hetzner to specify User Data (i.e. the install script).

But when I navigate to the IP of the new server, I get the initial github link/authentication screen, and after agreeing to this, I then get:

Error connecting to your code-server instance
Ensure code-server is running and was properly started with the --link command line flag.

You are not alone.
Also fails on Digital Ocean

Hi - sorry for the delayed response.

We are probably going to be deprecating the --link functionality because it fails under some circumstances. The feature will remain available, but will not be recommended.

The following troubleshooting steps should help:

• 2. Unable to connect with --link code-server#2734
