Code-server - error on default install

colindaly · 1 May 2023 12:28

I’ve installed code-server using the docker-cli command from GitHub - linuxserver/docker-code-server

The WebUI is not responding and when reading docker logs -f code-server I’m getting the following recurring errors.

Can anyone offer some guidance on how I can resolve?

/app/code-server/lib/node[1558]: ../src/node_platform.cc:61:std::unique_ptr<long unsigned int> node::WorkerThreadsTaskRunner::DelayedTaskScheduler::Start(): Assertion `(0) == (uv_thread_create(t.get(), start_thread, this))' failed.

Share the docker run command you used and your full container logs (they begin with our ascii logo)

FYI - UID 1000 = docker user, and the GID 1000 = docker group.

driz · 2 May 2023 11:14

Put it back how it was and provide updated logs and compose

colindaly · 2 May 2023 12:14

This is a default install using the exact cli code supplied. New VPS build (racknerds). Only other install is SWAG in Docker container which is running as expected.

driz · 2 May 2023 12:17

abc being renamed to docker is not a default install. it’s a breaking & unsupported change.

colindaly · 2 May 2023 21:19

If you look at line 2 of the logs, you will see I am indeed using user abc.

j0nnymoe · 2 May 2023 21:22

What’s the host os/hardware?
Please try using your homedir for this -v /docker/vscode/config:/config \ so -v /home/username/codeserver:/config \

driz · 2 May 2023 21:36

My apologies, I misread! Please continue with what J0nnymoe has requested.

colindaly · 2 May 2023 23:27

OS Ubuntu 18.4
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz
RAM 2.5GB
Virtualization KVM

Changed homedir to v /home/racknerd/codeserver:/config. Still getting similar error.

I havent been able to solution the issue above per-se, however I noticed the VPS install on Ubuntu 18.4 had Docker pre-installed.

I’ve simply rebuilt the VPS with Ubuntu 20.04 WITHOUT Docker preinsalled and did so manually after SSHing in.

This has now resolved the issue and confirm Code-Server is now running without errors.

Thanks all for your help.

driz · 3 May 2023 13:54

Ah we have seen this before. The ubuntu default is to install the snap version (SNAP is bad) of docker and every time we see that, it causes a ton of problems. Glad to see you sorted the issue!
