I use Google Chrome as the default browser, its version is 81.0.4044.138, and I put code-server on a remote server, the system is centos7, and the following reminder is displayed when I log in to the browser:

You need a domain and enable https.

How dose code-server starts with https. I find that it starts defaultly with http.

You can set up a reverse proxy server using Nginx, and then obtain an SSL certificate from LetsEncrypt or other places.

Thank you for the assistance @yyjlincoln. We're aware that setup documentation is lacking.
https://github.com/cdr/code-server/pull/1628 aims to solve this problem.

I'm running on Ubuntu using Nginx , so how can I do that ?
