i got this too. i ran it in docker. i found there must be lines below in the nginx.conf to make it work location / { proxy_pass http://codeserver.xxx.xxx:8443/; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection upgrade; proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding gzip; } this is from https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/docs/guide.md#using-lets-encrypt-with-nginx

When adding the domain or subdomain for code-server on Nginx Proxy Manager make sure to check the Websockets support to solve the problem.
