Your environment must have WebSockets enabled

[ttrakker]

Hi I am trying to setup my own server to learn python with and trying to setup a centos8 box to use. One of the requirements on https://coder.com/docs/code-server/v3.11.0/requirements says "Your environment must have WebSockets enabled, since code-server uses WebSockets for communication between the browser and the server.". Can someone help me understand what that means and how i do so? Googling im confused with every result. thanks

Hey there! So WebSockets is a protocol, similar to HTTP(S).

You're using a CentOS box. How do you plan to install and run code-server? Directly on that box I assume?

Depending on where it's hosted, you may need to enable WebSockets in order for everything to work properly. Where are you hosting your box?

Hi thanks for your reply. I just want to host on my home network on an esxi host. Not worried about remote access outside my home. Thanks

I'm not familiar with an esxi host, but I assume this happens because you're accessing via your home network. Have you tried following this section of the docs?
