error [Service Worker] navigator is undefined

[huanghantao]

It's my hosts:

127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.0.1 coding.com
127.0.0.1 codinghuang-test1.coding.com

When I use localhost to access code-server, there is no problem, but when I use coding.com to access code-server, I get the error.

It looks like when you use coding.com, you're accessing code-server over an insecure domain, which I believe is the reason the service worker isn't being registered (though it would be nice if we had better error messages).

Have you followed the docs for setting up HTTPS?

The SSL certificate error occurred usually means that the browser has determined that your certificate is invalid. There are ways to disable the security although it would be better to use a valid certificate.

Can I start it using Yarn?

You'd have to install it with yarn. But let's pause on that idea and consider @code-asher's solution since that will address the root of the issue.

Is it possible for you to create a valid SSL certificate and try that first?

Why are certificates generated through code-server invalid?

Ah are you using --cert (without any path)? I wonder if code-server's self-signed certificate is no longer considered valid by browsers (or by Chrome at least). We may need to poke into this and see.

Yes, I was using --cert without any path. My Chrome's info:
