[BUG] code-server opens blank page when running new version

[yourfavoriteweapon]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

If I change the repo tolscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:4.96.4-ls254 then it will still work as normal.

However If I leave it was lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server or lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:latest then when I launch code-server I just get a blank white page.

Expected Behavior

Code server should run as normal.

Steps To Reproduce

1. update code-server to newest version
2. try to login

Environment

- OS:Unraid
- How docker service was installed:linuxserver image installed from community app store

CPU architecture

x86-64

Docker creation

docker run
  -d
  --name='code-server'
  --net='bridge'

I am experiencing the same issue. Running CodeServer on Unraid.

[Xelator23]

Same problem with new update .. using unraid

switch back to "4.96.4-ls254" and it will work

[Livefour2day]

Yes I am also experiencing the same balnk page after password is entered after latest update in Unraid

[crtvrmn]

can confirm, :latest resulted in a blank white page. /edit: this is NOT unraid but normal-people-docker

i think the first error i saw (but it never came back up again) was something with "version missmatch". but i can not reproduce, nor find the exact error again.

[ch3p4ll3]

I think I found the problem, crypto.randomUUID method is available only in secure contexts

[Crivit]

Experiencing same issue, running Code Server on Ubuntu

[chraac]

Same here, on ubuntu 22.04 lts

[formatBCE]

Same, docker on Debian Bookworm.

[scuppasteve]

Same issue Docker on Unraid.

[gurupanguji]

same issue - docker on Unraid

[pvergezac]

I confirm same white page error and presence of error in Firefow console about crypto.randomUUID.

[Roxedus]

coder/code-server#7212 We will have to wait for a fixed version.

[benz0li]

Upstream issue:

• workbench.js “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'bind') at workbench.js:404:80180” microsoft/vscode#240334

[j0nnymoe]

People don't need to keep saying same problem, it's been established it's an upstream issue.

[Livefour2day]

latest release 4.96.4-ls256 still has not fixed the issue

[tannisroot]

I believe (correct me if I am wrong) this will not be fixed until new upstream version with microsoft/vscode#241690 is shipped which iirc won't happen until March.

[VennBit]

Can confirm I was seeing this, too. Once I finished the setup and it was going through the proxy and SSL it started working again.

[trevSaw]

Has this been fixed? I am also experiencing the same issue

[Roxedus]

No, the fact that the issue is still open should be a good indicator it is not.

[dm9tr0]

Of course guys you can continue marking such message as "spam", but it is critical and many users for last 2 weeks have no GUI, just empty page instead of VS code, I have seen that you already released some new version, but it didn`t help.
I absolutely dont understand your priority.

CRITICAL ISSUE!

[Roxedus]

This is not something we can fix.

1. Vscode merged only rely on crypto.getRandomValues and treat randomUUID as being optional microsoft/vscode#241690 which needs a release
2. Then coder/code-server pulls in that version into their codebase and does a release
3. At this point we can pick up this release

There is nothing for us to prioritize. Adding a new "same issue" comment makes the comments that actually matters, and explains the situation blend in.

Now I got it, thanks, so only one solution - to refuse of using this container.

[Roxedus]

I dont see how that is a solution when:

upstream microsoft codeserver is affected
upstream coder code-server is affected
gitpods openvscode-server is affected (which we also offer as a image)

[aptalca]

Now I got it, thanks, so only one solution - to refuse of using this container.

You can put it behind a reverse proxy with a proper ssl cert, or you can go back to an older version before the bug was introduced.

[dm9tr0]

I suppose that was fixed and soon will be in release coder/code-server#7245

[gurupanguji]

Or just pull the previous version of the image and run that as the container. If you're using the linuxserver docker image, I've written up some instructions here: https://gurupanguji.com/2025/02/21/version-4-9-72-of-code-server-is-no-bueno-switch-to-the-previous-version-to-get-it-working-again/

[CuddlyCornet645]

Im on debian 12.9 and im also expiriencing that issue. so what did you guys do to resolve this issue? just install an older version until a update drops that patches this bug? or can i just add a ssl cert and it will work? can someone help?

[aptalca]

Either of those options would work.

I have mine reverse proxied with SWAG and it works fine.

CRITICAL ISSUE!

I agree with you. I have had the same issue on UnRaid and it is a tad frustrating. No GUI, can't access and update my configurations. Almost everyday i check for an update but Nothing. So frustrating..

[Cyberbeni]

@Roxedus new VSCode version with the fix has been released: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/releases/tag/1.98.0

[Roxedus]

Step 2 is not done, coder has not pushed a stable release yet.

It is not fixed upstream quite yet.

[Roxedus]

There is no need to rehash the information thats already in the visible comments. That will be marked as spam, together with "same issue" to keep the comments with useful info visible.

[Roxedus]

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-code-server/releases/tag/4.98.0-ls259 is now built, and showing a UI for me without https.

Thanks for the patience all.
