Hi,
Sorry for replying things that's unrelated to your issue.

How do you solve the problem running code-server binary on CentOS ?

code-server: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by code-server)
code-server: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by code-server)

use strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6|grep GLIBCXX query GLIBCXX's include version,
you should update your gcc version，newer gcc will provide GLIBCXX high version,

Same error when code-server is started via Docker.

Ubuntu 18.04 x64, latest Docker version.

Same error when code-server is started via Docker.

Ubuntu 18.04 x64, latest Docker version.

$ find / -name libstdc++.so.6
......
$strings /path/to/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

it will show all GLIBCXX's version, if not your want, you need newer libstdc++.so, because libstdc++.so.6' is a soft connection withlibstdc++.so`. i will update gcc , Because the new version will provide a new version of libstdc++.so
Above are guesses, because I am not using ubuntu now, you can try it

[kmahyyg]

GLIBCXX 3.4 to 3.4.25.

Same error, running on Arch Linux latest.

Error occurs only when append --cert --cert-key Params.

Will fix.

Have you updated docker image with this fix?
Here is what I get right now:

No it's not released yet. You could build your own docker image though, that's what I did for now.

$ git clone https://github.com/codercom/code-server
$ docker image build -t coder-selfcompiled .
$ codercom/code-server with the chosen name in the build command>

The docker build command may take some time to complete, took around 20 mins on a 2core vps.
