Code-server: Unable to run on Android using Termux

[871690991]

The new version can't run, DEP can't install incompatible system, code package can't run, can't create / usr / local / bin directory, I don't have root permission, I hope the author can change the code package directory to the current user's home directory.
新版的无法运行,dep无法安装不兼容我的系统，code 包无法运行无法创建/usr/local/bin目录 我没有root权限，希望作者能把code包目录改为当前用户家目录.
I'm crazy.

What does dpkg --print-architecture show?

[nhooyr]

Also, please provide your OS version, i.e debian/ubuntu/centOS/macOS/Windows etc.

[nhooyr]

• Local OS:

[nhooyr]

Try using our auto install script.

My operating system is termux on Android

[871690991]

Try using our auto install script.

See https://github.com/cdr/code-server#getting-started

Can the next version be compatible with termux?

[nhooyr]

No idea, don't know what termux or what's causing this issue.

[871690991]

No idea, don't know what termux or what's causing this issue.

The old version of termux can run directly, but the new version cannot. Do you have an Android phone to download a termux,you open http://termux.com

[871690991]

No idea, don't know what termux or what's causing this issue.

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required. A minimal base system is installed automatically - additional packages are available using the APT package manager.

Some Android phones are connected to the display, such as Samsung, Huawei and smartisan phones, to realize Android programming and development

Here's a summary of the issues I ran into trying this out. My initial post is below the line.

• There's a linker problem with the bundled Node (incorrect path).
• ~There's a libstdc++.so error with spdlog if you try running with your own Node. (This might be fixed soon?)~ Already fixed as long as you use the bundled script, for example editing it to use your own Node for now
• npm and yarn both result in Could not locate the bindings file with spdlog (was hoping this would work around the missing libraries)
• Termux has a custom install path that the deb doesn't take into account.

---

Huh yeah that's interesting, the deb won't install because arm64 doesn't match aarch64? I thought they were the same thing?

I was able to get around that with:

$ dpkg --add-architecture arm64

However this still fails because it's trying to install to /usr. There is a PREFIX environment variable although it's one level too deep:

$ dpkg --inst-dir $PREFIX/.. -i code-server_3.3.1_arm64.deb

I'm not sure if we can fix this on our end; I'm not familiar enough with either termux or dpkg. Maybe there is some system default set somewhere that we can inherit or maybe debs have to be specially packaged for Termux to account for the path difference or maybe there's some other way to detect the right path like using that PREFIX environment variable if it exists.

Unfortunately running code-server still doesn't work at this point because it's trying to execute /usr/lib/code-server/bin/code-server. I tried running $PREFIX/lib/code-server/bin/code-server directly but node exits with no such file or directory. I think what it really means is there is some kind of missing library because the file does exist.

So I installed Node:

$ pkg install nodejs
$ node "$PREFIX/lib/code-server"

And it almost works! But it errors with libstdc++.so.6 not found when loading the spdlog module.

Then I tried out the npm module:

npm -g install code-server

But now I get Could not locate the bindings file for spdlog after running code-server and logging in. I don't know what's causing this one.

Going back to the no such file error:

$ file "$PREFIX/lib/code-server/lib/node"
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/code-server/lib/node: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, BuildID[sha1]=8de174bf29b02b0e727ca5cd7c4ede9ef35bb8cc, with debug_info, not stripped

Is it because /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 doesn't exist, maybe? Here's what I get for git:

$ file $(readlink -f $(which git))
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/git-core/git: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /system/bin/linker64, stripped

So how about:

$ pkg install patchelf
$ patchelf --set-interpreter /system/bin/linker64 $PREFIX/lib/code-server/lib/node

Unfortunately this results in:

error: Android 5.0 and later only support position-independent executables (-fPIE).

[code-asher]

One other summary item:

• The entry script doesn't work if the deb is installed to a custom location.

[code-asher]

So running the bundled code-server script resolves the libstdc++.so.6 error since it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH (I edited it to just run my system node to avoid the linker issue with the bundled one), the next error is:

dlopen failed: library "libm.so.6" not found

[nhooyr]

Yea the path is hard coded to /usr/lib/code-server. That's just how .deb works or at least nfpm works anyway.

[nhooyr]

dlopen failed: library "libm.so.6" not found

wtf, that means you don't have libc

[nhooyr]

This might be somewhat fixed by the compilation on CentOS 7 in #1761

[nhooyr]

I think it's best to not use the .deb on termux, best to use a standalone release.

Should modify the install script to do this instead of installing the .deb.

[nhooyr]

How does /etc/os-release look @code-asher?

[nhooyr]

Actually there is no /etc/os-release on termux so it should already be installing via the .tar.gz instead of the .deb.

[nhooyr]

Once v3.4.1 is released I'll ping here so you guys can test the standalone release in termux.

[hnmn]

Try
yarn global add code-server

[Karthikb777]

Try
yarn global add code-server

I tried this, but it always asks for a reload every 2 seconds.

[librehat]

I've run into the same issue seen by @Karthikb777.

Environment

Android 9 on Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e
latest Termux, node 14
standalone code-server 3.4.1 arm64 tar.gz with a few modifications (explained below)
Google Chrome browser

The bundled node binary cannot be executed, therefore I've replaced it with a symlink to the node installed via termux pkg. After that I ran into the telemetry issues which can be turned off by --disable-telemetry. Then it's the precompiled spdlog module using libstdc++ issue commented by @code-asher. To solve it, I went into lib/vscode and deleted node_modules/spdlog folder, and reinstalled it via node install spdlog which will compile using libc++. After all these, I restarted code-server, there is no error in the output (I've turned on the verbose output too) but in Chrome the connection just gets disconnected after 2 seconds. The verbose output from code-server is pasted below

[Logic530]

I believe I'm having similar issue.

Info

OS (not really an os I suppose): Termux app on Android (app version 0.94)
code-server: version 3.4.1 arm64 standalone (latest release) with nodejs executable symbolic linked to another file (explain later)
nodejs version (not the original one): v14.4.0

And, if useful, some info about my phone:

Android version: 10
OS: MIUI 12
Model: Xiaomi CC9 Pro

How to produce the issue

1. Download the latest arm64 standalone release of code-server and extract the file.
2. Run code-server-dir/bin/code-server --auth none in Termux.
3. code-server does not start, error message saying something like "could not find code-server-dir/lib/node, no such file or directory".
4. But I know there is a usable nodejs package for Termux, so I get it by running apt install nodejs in Termux. (The package should come from a special repository for Termux.)
5. Create a symbolic link at code-server-dir/lib/ replacing the original executable, and the target is the usable nodejs executable installed.
6. Run code-server-dir/bin/code-server --auth none again, and code-server starts, showing normal startup message.
   (I changed the config to listen all address)

info  Using config file ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
info  Using user-data-dir ~/.local/share/code-server
info  code-server 3.4.1 48f7c2724827e526eeaa6c2c151c520f48a61259

info    - No authentication
info    - Not serving HTTPS

1. Access http://localhost:8080 in my phone browser (Chrome), the page loads but after a few seconds it asks to reconnect, and the connection is lost.
2. In Termux, code-server prints following error message:

Some clue

Seems like the issue is caused by missing libstdc++.so.6, and this might have something to do with Termux environment. But I
am really a noob at Linux and OS stuff. So it's all my guessing XD

[mdeabreu]

I tried the latest 3.4.1 standalone release and unfortunately am running into a number of issues. I’ll try to describe them here so that anyone can follow along and see the issues plus the work arounds that have been found.

Info

Device: OnePlus 6T
OS: Android 10 (OxygenOS 10.3.4), running Termux 0.95
Code-Server: 3.4.1 standalone arm64
NodeJS: replaced bundled node with system node 14.4.0

Problems and Partial Solutions

This section assumes you have a fresh Termux environment.

1. Update environment pkg upgrade
2. Download code-server standalone curl -O -L https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.4.1/code-server-3.4.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
3. Extract tar -xvf code-server-3.4.1-linux-arm64.tar.gz
4. Attempt to run cd code-server-3.4.1-linux-arm64 && ./bin/code-server --auth none

At this point you will run into the first issue:
./bin/code-server: 36: exec: /data/data/com.termux/files/home/code-server-3.4.1-linux-arm64/lib/node: not found

Let’s fix this by installing node into termux and replacing the file with a symlink.

1. pkg install nodejs
2. replace local node with symlink rm lib/node && ln -s $(which node) lib/node

When we try running again ./bin/code-server --auth none everything appears to work but when we connect we see a bunch of errors one after another. Let’s fix them in turn.

We can fix the Unable to retrieve mac address... error by appending --disable-telemetry to our launch command.

The issues with spdlog can be fixed by manually re-installing spdlog (and the python termux package which is necessary to build).

1. cd lib/vscode && rm -rf node_modules/spdlog && pkg install python && npm install spdlog && cd ../..

Now we can put it all together ./bin/code-server --auth none --disable-telemetry

Code-server launches as expected, we can open the browser and see code-server but after a couple seconds we will always lose connection: Cannot reconnect. Please reload the window.

Here is the output from ./bin/code-server --auth none --disable-telemetry -vvv to see if there is anything interesting in the logs.

Workaround

I believe I’ve found a work around that will get past all the issues and remain connected. Tutorial below assumes a fresh Termux environment.

1. Update environment: pkg upgrade
2. Install pre-requisites: pkg install python nodejs yarn
3. Install code-server, this can take some time: yarn global add code-server
4. Launch: code-server -- auth none --disable-telemetry

You should now be able to open code-server in your browser and stay connected!

I’m hopeful this works for others!

[code-asher]

Interesting, I tried the yarn method before but it failed when building spdlog.

But I ran it again just now following your steps and everything went off without a hitch. Awesome!!

[Karthikb777]

Everything seems to work fine,I tried using the yarn method, but EACCES error shows up and I can't use backspace in the editor for some reason.

Edit: I managed to get rid of EACCES error but still couldn't use backspace.

I'm gonna try connecting a wired keyboard and try it today and will update about what happens.

[marissa999]

I managed to get code-server working without a single problem in the past by using a proot. https://github.com/sdrausty/termux-archlinux Besides arch you can also use any other distro in the proot. AndroNix might be interesting too. The problem with Termux on its own is that a lot of dependencies are missing and that Android does not follow the Linux standard filesystem hierarchy. https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Differences_from_Linux Those are both problems you can bypass by running code-server in a proot in termux on Android.

[RealGJ]

Have you found any permanent solution? I'm trying to run code-server on Termux too, but it doesn't works.

[Karthikb777]

Have you found any permanent solution? I'm trying to run code-server on Termux too, but it doesn't works.

Yes, I am running code server on termux but I plug in an external keyboard as code server cannot recognise backspace in the virtual keyboard.
I used the yarn method to install it.

[15838639131]

@Karthikb777
you can set "keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode",

[ChemsoDev]

This can answer everything
https://github.com/vhqtvn/VHEditor-Android
It's an app with built in termux and vscs
And working perfectly except the c# extension didn't detect the arch of my device
Anyway the editor is working

[izewang]

It seems the folder
"home/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode/node_modules" is missing. What shall I do now? I tried to npm install or yarn install inside /lib/vscode, but get more errors:
"error /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode/node_modules/keytar: Command failed." "No package 'libsecret-1' found"

I finally got it worked.
Here's what I did after the previous post:

pkg install git
yarn global remove code-server
yarn global add code-server

[yozman]

hey guys, there is whole lots of things u should do for use cdr on termux

pkg install nodejs git python build-essential pkg-config libx11
npm i -g yarn
yarn global add code-server

make sure your internet could open https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleinterns/tsec/master/package.json correctly

if not (somewhere like china) u can use https://github.com/x-falcon/Virtual-Hosts for binding custom host like

199.232.68.133 .githubusercontent.com

after this, u can enjoy ur cdr on ur phone.

but there is still an issue on it with search feature

when use cdr/code-server with termux on android.
search feature is not work because of missing bin/rg

---

update for fix search feature

1. install ripgrep use pkg

pkg install ripgrep

1. make a soft link use ln -s

run this command in ur code-server directory

ln -s $PREFIX/bin/rg ./lib/vscode/node_modules/vscode-ripgrep/bin/rg
