Perhaps VS Code 1.78.2 is the last version that supports code server? VS Code 1.79 and newer versions do not work.

Thanks for your issue! If you're using the code-server CLI, please go ahead and switch over to the code CLI instead - we made the switch in our November 2022 release: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_74#_remote-development.

I'll close this issue for now, but if you have other questions, please don't hesitate to share them. Thanks!

I have an additional question on this. It looks like with code cli it is not possible to access the server from a webbrowser directly (without going through vscode.dev). Does this mean it is not possible anymore to use the serve-local functionality anymore, but everything has to go through vscode.dev?

I believe what you're looking for is tracked in this feature request: microsoft/vscode#168492.
