Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

• [ ] I tested this in native VS Code.
• [ ] This does not happen in native VS Code.
• [ ] I tested this in GitHub Codespaces.
• [ ] This does not happen in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

• [ ] I am using a secure context.

Notes

remove --install-extension , code-server works again

Does anyone know why it happened? This happens when I always start the service with the command with --install-extension. Even if I already have these extensions Or it may be related to the fact that I imported an external configuration file.

--install-extension is not a service, it is meant to install the extension then exit (the same behavior as native VS Code and GitHub Codespaces).

You will want something like:

./code-server --install-extension ms-python.python > mylog.out 2>&1
nohup ./code-server --port 5000 --host 0.0.0.0 > mylog.out 2>&1 &

You are right, because the extension only needs to be downloaded once, instead of having --install-extension every time you start the service, so downloading the extension and starting the service should be two commands, and I mistakenly confused them together. I'm sorry that I don't know how to use it
