./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) ./code-server: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version 'CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by ./code-server)

I keep getting this error when trying to run it.

Same issue found in centos 7

I succeeded to run by upgrade /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 and /lib64/libc.so.6

CC @Multishifties for closure. Solved by workaround.

[tumregels]

one workaround for centos/ubuntu distributions is to package code-server via conda and host it on anaconda's conda-forge, like electron.
then these issues with missing libraries will be gone for good.

I don't think using such is a good idea. Targeting across GLIBC instance can already be done via CI by providing multiple OSes instead.

Ran the commands above successfully, but now I get Aborted (core dumped).

My CentOS VPS doesn't support Docker, so I am trying to install this manually ...

Any advice on how to proceed? I can provide the dump file, if needed...

Please do NOT use Fedora packages on CentOS systems, you are risking your system with further breakages because CentOS is for production ready systems. Fedora is a rolling distribution that has no gurantee being production ready.
