• VS Code Version: x

Same goes for the download link inside the vscode server setup script https://aka.ms/install-vscode-server/setup.sh.

It says:

Installing from https://aka.ms/vscode-server-launcher/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

But instead of downloading the code-server binary it downloads the webpage https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels.

Duplicate of microsoft/vscode-docs#6496
I've identified the problem and I'm working on a fix.

@HeinrichAD I confirmed that that is an intentional change.
code-server has been replaced by Remote Tunnels.

@rzhao271 thank you for the fast response.

That's sad for me because I wanted to do something like self-hosting https://vscode.dev for internal usage. So that my colleges could open their local files/projects and work on them from everywhere without installing vscode (and some internal extensions) or having their own directory on the server. As far as I read until now "Remote Tunnels" are not the right thing for me. If you have a tip for me, even if this is just the message that this is not supported, I would appreciate it.

If you mean serve-local, that feature request is being tracked at #168492

@rzhao271 So shouldn't the document be updated? Is this post invalid?

@Ali-Flt the document was updated at https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2022/07/07/vscode-server#_a-remote-present-and-future.
