Incorrect password, local config.yaml not used

See original GitHub issue

OS/Web Information

Web Browser: Chrome
Local OS: Windows / MacOS
Remote OS: Ubuntu
Remote Architecture: amd64
code-server --version: 3.10.1

Steps to Reproduce

Create a config.yaml and fill in the fields like this

bind-addr: 0.0.0.0:8080
auth: password
hashed-password: xxxx
cert: false

The hashed password was generated with printf "thisismypassword" | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f1 2. Setup Nginx proxy conf file, and launch with docker compose

 code-server:
    image: codercom/code-server:latest
    container_name: "code-server"
    hostname: "code-server"
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: root
    environment: 
      - DOCKER_USER=${USER}
    expose:
      - "8080"
    volumes:
      - ${WORK_DIR}:/home/coder/project
      - ${HOME}/.vscode:/home/coder/.local/share/code-server
      - ${HOME}/.config/code-server:/home/coder/.config/code-server

Go to my browser and type in the password, but always receive a “Incorrect password” error.
I checked the config file ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml inside the container and it was the same as the local one.

Thanks for the quick reply. Since the environment variable $HASHED_PASSWORD always takes precedence I finally managed to login that way. Not sure if it was caused by some of sort cache by container volumes.

All right now that I have the right directory it works for me. I generated my password the same way. Nothing looks out of place to me.

Does the login page say that the password is from the config file?
