Change User

[idoodler]

I started to play around with this project, everything went smoothly 👍

I then noticed that the Terminal showed "root" as user which I don't really like cause I was deploying it on my own server, not some kind of DigitalOcean server. So I created its own user "coder", defined it in the service file and restarted the service.

I then ran into permission issues (as expected), so I changed the ownership of the "user-data-dir" and of the "code-server" folder itself which solved the main problem (HTTP Response Code 500). I then wanted to check the Console and noticed that "/bin/bash" exits with exit code 1.

In the logs I see that "scandir" also has permission issues of path "/root".

How can I fix this issue, or how can I reconfigure code-server to use the newly created user?

I am running on Ubuntu Server and followed this tutorial but adopted it for my particular installation as I am not using DigitalOcean.

I decided to use Docker instead of installing it to my production server so I have encapsulated it from from my main processes.
