Stuck on grey screen due to websocket error 500

[Burn-E99]

• code-server version: 1.1156-vsc1.33.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu Server 16.04 on private VPS

Description

Installed code-server a couple days ago and finally went around to getting the reverse proxy working so I can use it on a semi-restricted network (network blocks direct IP:port access). Followed the docs for setting one up using Apache, and it somewhat works. The login page shows up and is usable, but once logged in, it sits on a grey screen repeatedly spitting out websocket connection to 'ws://coder.mydomain.com' failed: Error during websocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 500. Direct access over IP:port works, but the Apache reverse proxy only seems to partially work.

This happens in latest version of desktop chrome.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download the binary and run it on server with --allow-http
2. Configure Apache according to docs
3. Attempt to access via chrome
4. Enter password and your at a grey screen, constantly getting a websocket 500.

Let me know if more details are needed, such as what my configs are currently set at.

I have the same issue.

Is there any support for alternatives (like long-polling / socket.io) rather than web sockets? Some environments don't support websockets.

Same issue, even whit HTTPS

This is likely caused by a misconfigured reverse proxy. I'm reviewing the reverse proxy documentation and rewriting parts that aren't clear or incorrect with the current version right now.

i was not using a reverse proxy in my case

@Mrgove10 Does anything appear in the code-server log or browser log that could be helpful?

If anyone still experiences this on v2 lemme know.
