How to serve with HTTPS on Google Cloud Compute?

• Web Browser: Chrome
• code-server --version: 3.9.0

I installed code-server on a Google Compute Engine VM instance with Debian. When I launch code-server, I get the "Not serving HTTPS" error. I've made sure that https and https traffic are allowed by the firewall. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey @Guangye-C sorry to hear you're having issues! Have you already read and followed the docs?

To me works with:
code-server --bind-addr 0.0.0.0:5000 --cert /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourhost/fullchain.pem --cert-key /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourhost/privkey.pem

If you don't want to manage TLS certificates and domains, you can also start code-server with code-server --link and proxy via our cloud agent for an HTTPS connection to code-server
