Notes

It would look like a deliberate move but i don't see the purpose.

This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: Yes/No

I just tested locally and cannot reproduce.

--link is actually in the middle of a big refactor though and we're going to be beta testing some new features. If you're interested, let us know!

@bpmct might be able to help you!

The problem is the current --link agent is not built for the Raspberry Pi.

We are working on a new version of Link and will make sure we make armv7l builds. We aim on sharing this by Friday and will be sure to let you know :)

In the meantime, you could try and build the binary yourself and move it to/home/pi/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.6/lib/node_modules/code-server/lib/coder-cloud-agent

[immjs]

This sounds good, tyvm!

Although now, go build builds without a version number. Now I get

[2021-09-15T06:16:24.384Z] info  Failed to login: unable to login: Agent version () is incompatible. Version v0.2.1 or later is required. Try updating to the latest release at https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases

[bpmct]

Ah! I can't remember if you have to specify v0.2.1 or 0.2.1, but you'll need to build with this flag:

go build -ldflags "-X go.coder.com/cloud-agent/internal/version.Version=v0.2.1"
# or
go build -ldflags "-X go.coder.com/cloud-agent/internal/version.Version=0.2.1"

This is how it is built for releases: https://github.com/cdr/cloud-agent/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yaml#L28

[immjs]

This works alright now, thank you! Im facing a new ossue now, should I open a new one? It just gives me the latency but doesnt give me a link

@bpmct It's with the v btw

cc @bpmct @kylecarbs any ideas?

[immjs]

Oh, update, it didnt give it enough of a chance: It tried to read a json but failed coz the header was EOF

[bpmct]

Ah cool. We will have a new release soon which will resolve these networking issues

[1tszyau]

I am running into the same issue by installing using the script (which install code-server using brew). The code-server version that brew installed is 3.12.0. I am currently using a Mac.

[bpmct]

I think this is likely because postinstall script is not running, which will be fixed for the next release. (#4231) Could you try manually running these lines in your terminal?

Where brew installed code-server

https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/ci/build/npm-postinstall.sh#L59-L64%5C

[1tszyau]

Thank you so much for replying me.
I have to apologise as I am very new to shell code, and don't really understand how all these magic works (and not works).

I tried to install after uninstalling code-server using "brew install code-server"
After that, I just copy and paste what you have highlighted in the postinstall script.

Here is the response:

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 
Failed to download cloud agent; --link will not work

Hope this information is helpful.

[bpmct]

@1tszyau You did that right. What is the output of uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'

Ah, whoops. Try running this

# Copied from arch() in ci/lib.sh.
detect_arch() {
  case "$(uname -m)" in
    aarch64)
      echo arm64
      ;;
    x86_64 | amd64)
      echo amd64
      ;;
    *)
      # This will cause the download to fail, but is intentional
      uname -m
      ;;
  esac
}

ARCH="${NPM_CONFIG_ARCH:-$(detect_arch)}"

  OS="$(uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"
  if curl -fsSL "https://github.com/cdr/cloud-agent/releases/latest/download/cloud-agent-$OS-$ARCH" -o ./lib/coder-cloud-agent; then
    chmod +x ./lib/coder-cloud-agent
  else
    echo "Failed to download cloud agent; --link will not work"
  fi

you can also put it in a .sh script (e.g "install-link.sh")

[1tszyau]

I paste your code into a install-link.sh, and use:

chmod +x install-link.sh
sudo ./install-link.sh

Here is the response:

curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 1406)
Failed to download cloud agent; --link will not work

Edited: The output is "darwin" for your first question.

Thanks!

[bpmct]

@1tszyau I would recommend using another method to connect to Coder for now, as we still have a lot to do with the new version: https://coder.com/docs/code-server/v3.12.0/guide#using-lets-encrypt-with-caddy
