Code-server: How to hide the private key used by code-server (with --cert-key)

[levifox54]

For example, when running "code-server --cert-key=MyKey.key", how do I hide the MyKey.key from being viewed by "Open File..." or through the Explorer or through the terminal? Is there a way to let another user handle the encrypting/decrypting stuff maybe?

I ended up using an nginx proxy with SSL termination and no SSL certificate on code-server itself.

I am using apache, and I've tried

Listen 8081
<VirtualHost *:8081>
    ProxyPass / http://www.google.ca/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://www.google.ca/
</VirtualHost>

which works as intended, but i've tried

Listen 8081
<VirtualHost *:8081>
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
</VirtualHost>

with code-server running on port 8080. It loads the code-server icon in the tab, but the page doesn't load.

nvm, i tried this but the same thing happened

Listen 8081
<VirtualHost *:8081>
  ServerName mysite.ca

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]
  RewriteRule /(.*)           ws://localhost:8080/$1 [P,L]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} !=websocket [NC]
  RewriteRule /(.*)           http://localhost:8080/$1 [P,L]

  ProxyRequests off

  RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto https
  RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port 443

  ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ nocanon
  ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
</VirtualHost>

I am using 2.preview.10-vsc1.37.0

edit: i just ended up using nginx alongside apache, and nginx solves my issues. closing
