When connecting to a remote host for the 1st time I get the error:

tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Upon investigation I found that the download url that was constructed misses the value for release.
curl --retry 3 --connect-timeout 10 --location --output vscode-server.tar.gz https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.74.3./vscodium-reh-linux-x64-1.74.3..tar.gz

Adding to this while performing the installation steps manually.

The installation script expects the server script to be named code-server-oss but this does not exist. Instead the name is codium-server. There is no symbolic link present.

Creating a symbolic link will make the server start properly but now code-oss reports a failure upon connecting due to e version mismatch..

The problem is that you are using another client instead of vscodium, and vscodium uses a different commit in product.json (client and server need to have the same commit) but you can use openvscode-server it uses the same commit as code-oss I think

Could you try updating "remote.SSH.serverDownloadUrlTemplate" setting to

https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/releases/download/openvscode-server-v${version}/openvscode-server-v${version}-${os}-${arch}.tar.gz

Let me know if it works so I can update the readme

Ok so the url retrieved the right version, but the server script in bin had the wrong name too. Nothing a ln -s openvscode-server code-server-oss could not fix in the bin/ directory where the server was installed.
~/.vscode-server-oss/bin/97dec172d3256f8ca4bfb2143f3f76b503ca0534/bin in my case.

Thanks for replying. I guess it might be easier to switch to vscodium and see how it works for me :-)

[jeanp413]

Ah right 🤦 , I guess I can detect if the server is openvscode-server and rename it in the install script, but yeah switching to vscodium is easier, not sure how popular is Code-OSS but in any case let me know and I can push a commit with the change I mentioned.

Closing for now.
