Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: Brave
• Local OS: Android
• Remote OS: Android (Termux, using proot-distro with the archlinux distro)
• Remote Architecture: ARM64
• code-server --version: 4.7.0 (can’t use command since it can’t run, but this is the version I downloaded)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the install script to install code-server in the standalone method
2. Try running code-server (like code-server --version)
3. It fails.

Expected

Screenshot/Video

Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.
• I cannot reproduce this in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

• Albeit i’m using Termux, I run code-server in a proot-distro environment using the archlinux distro!
• Installed nodejs-lts-gallium package and npm with pacman
• Using npm directly doesn’t really work for me, the last time I’ve used it, no matter what I do I couldn’t upgrade code-server when a new release was released. (either saying it can’t find some cached files, or it doesn’t do anything and make me waste time)

Hey, I know this is not directly connected to argon2 issue but since I bringed up termux I might as well follow up on it. Apparently termux has a user repository with it’s own code-server install script. (see here: code-server) Installing code-server was as easy as pkg install code-server after installing repo. Install script was created just a few days ago as well, figured I should give a heads up.

[code-asher]

Yeah I would not expect the standalone arm64 GitHub release to work on Android. I believe we would need to compile specifically for Termux rather than generic Linux arm64. We should fix the install script trying to download a release that will not work and make it use npm install instead.
