Is there an existing issue for this?

OS/Web Information

Web Browser: Google Chrome
Local OS: Windows 11
Remote OS: SLES_12
Remote Architecture: x86
code-server --version: v4.21.1, v4.20.1, v4.19.1

Steps to Reproduce

Install code using install script in Linux environment

Expected

Open code-server from terminal.

Actual

I get an error regarding GLIBC version. See the logs section below.

I tried older versions of code-server (4.20.1 and 4.19.1) to see if the issue is with the latest release of vscode 1.86 which dropped support for older OS version. But I got the same error.

Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

Node was updated to 18 (which raised the minimum glibc) in 4.17.0, so I think you would have to downgrade to at least 4.16.1.

https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases/tag/v4.17.0

Update to Code 1.82.2. This includes an update to Node 18, which also means that the minimum glibc is now 2.28. If you need to maintain a lower glibc then you can take a version of Node 18 that is compiled with a lower glibc and use that to build code-server (or at a minimum rebuild the native modules).
