code-server --version: 4.96.2- Module? : Yes (code-server module)
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch the Kubernetes (Devcontainer) starter template.
- Setup your devcontainers repo to use an empty list of features (or use the one we reference in our docs).
- code-server fails to install.
Expected
Expected code-server on the starter template to start out-of-box following whats described in the docs. It's not mentioned what feature(s) are required to use code-server other than common-utils
Actual
Fails to install with: /tmp/code-server/bin/code-server: exec: line 28: /tmp/code-server/lib/code-server-4.96.2/lib/node: not found
Logs
// /tmp/code-server.log
/tmp/code-server/bin/code-server: exec: line 28: /tmp/code-server/lib/code-server-4.96.2/lib/node: not foundScreenshot/Video
Terminal Output
- Log output shows that
code-server-4.96.2/lib/nodeisn't found. - Listing the
code-server-4.96.2/libshows that thenodeexecutable exists - Running the node executable returns
/tmp/code-server/lib/code-server-4.96.2/lib/node: not found

Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?
- I am using a secure context.
Notes
Coder docs doesn't state that features are required to make code-server work on envbuilder. Attempting to deploy code-server without any results in curl not found.
I checked the docs, and from the "add a dev container" page, it prescribes to use "common-utils". However, this doesn't work as well.
For both cases I verified that my devcontainer.json on the workspace reflected what I had pushed into my Git repo.
Eventually, I found that using "apt-packages" and setting up the following devcontainer.json spec allows code-server to launch:
{
"image": "alpine:latest",
"features": {
"ghcr.io/rocker-org/devcontainer-features/apt-packages:latest": {
"packages": "file"
}
}
}
It's not clear what's missing as I don't believe the "file" package actually contributes anything (when trying to run the file command, it doesn't seem to have been successfully installed). Rather, I think it's the fact that there's an accessible package manager now that might've been used in the background to install any code-server dependencies.
Not sure which is correct here, but I think either that the docs should reflect the minimal feature(s) required to install code-server, or there's an issue with code-server i 5C7B f it's expected to work out-of-box on envbuilder.
