Hello,

We're using code-server (installed manually from the tag.gz) on server with no access to internet, and we have several error messages on the console:

[2020-12-01T14:32:53.742Z] error Failed to get latest version {"error":"getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.github.com"}

An option was previsouly available to prevent update, any other way to do it ?

Thank you.

We've implemented a flag to disable the update checker (it won't auto-update btw and is just informative although that doesn't really make a difference in your case) and it'll be in the next release! I'll add this to the milestone for tracking.

Ah nvm we already have #2361 in the milestone. Would be neat if GitHub had a separate section for fixed issues that aren't yet in a release or something to make finding duplicates easier.

Thank you, I've tested and works like a charm!
I didn't find it when searching in issues, but I won't say I'm a github search expert :)
Good work!
