Getting this too when running in Docker on Ubuntu 18.04:

This works fine on macOS Mojave, though:

docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:5000:8443 -v "${PWD}:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server:1.621 --allow-http --no-auth

[sr229]

Please be noted I made a OpenShift-compatible image. You can check it out here @amalic

@smalike I don't think that should be of your concern - that's minor and its unrelated to this issue.

[MichaelDesantis]

We have another issue for this specific error. And @code-asher already has a PR for this.

Relevant thread is here https://github.com/codercom/code-server/issues/453

[sr229]

See #223 as well for a progress check for OpenShift compatibility

[sr229]

Recommending closure. We can't really do this upstream but feel free to use my images if you want to use Coder in OpenShift.

[amalic]

Please be noted I made a OpenShift-compatible image. You can check it out here @amalic

works out of the box! well done. would make sense if this could make it into the main project ;)

I couldn't save anything. I guess i need to mount some storage into the pod.

[sr229]

@amalic yes you need to mount a PVC first since the image is only making emptydirs for the volume mounts.

[amalic]

@sr229 still working on PVC's. I already got PV's working. Think will be able to let you know soon.

[amalic]

@sr229 Fixed the issue with saving files. It was actually a MTU issue on the router node that prevented uploads larter than 284 Byte.

Container works totally fine. Thanks

[sr229]

Alrighty! Closing since I think we fixrd this a long time ago
