Needing to re-signin github every time webpage is refreshed (nginx reverse proxy and https)

[simonfalke-01]

I have code-server running on my docker host, and the nginx reverse proxy in a docker container. I can access code-server with a domain name with https, but every time I refresh the page, I need to sign in to GitHub again. Is there anyway I can save the sign in info so I do not need to do it every time? Thanks!

That sounds annoying! What version of code-server are you running? Any basic tips to repro?

code-server 4.5.1 97d1703 with Code 1.68
^^ Got the above from code-server —help

I have an nginx docker container running (exposed port 80), while code-server is running on host (port 8080). The nginx proxy listens on port 80 for connections from example.mydomain.com, then proxies the traffic to 192.168.2.50:8080. I am using LetsEncrypt certs, and I can access code-server from an external network by accessing example.mydomain.com. Everything is working fine, just the login issue.
If you need the nginx .conf file I can upload it here. Thanks!

Hmm...I do get this notification in the corner on every refresh. I believe I have the GITHUB_TOKEN set in my ~/.zshrc.

🤔 Do you know if it's a specific extension asking for you to login? I'd try these solutions:

• set GITHUB_TOKEN in .zshrc
• uninstall extensions that could be causing this (to isolate problem)
• if possible, try removing nginx from equation (as in testing code-server by itself if possible) to see if causing issue

Setting GITHUB_TOKEN in ~/.zshrc worked for me! Thanks!
