Code-server: Best OS for code-server?

Description


What linux distro should i use on my server to get code-server working without any problems? I tried CentOS 6, 7 and Debian 8, 9 and had a lot of issues to get this working without a flaw.

On CentOS there are issues with GLIBCXX (#347), that are hard to solve (requrie compiling libc and linking it with root privilidges.
On Debian (openvz kernel) I can't get starting new terminal inside app to work (#464).

Any sugestions? Should i try Ubuntu or docker?

The Docker container runs Ubuntu 18.04, so if you want to run outside of a container, 18.04 and 16.04 will be the most tested. I find running in Docker to be more convenient, though.

@pchecinski I tested it on CoreOS, Crostini (Debian 9), Debian 9, Fedora and RHEL 8, and they all work. Anything that matches the Travis builder's GLIBC or higher version will work.
