No arm64 binary for Cloud Agent

[boredland]

Using code-server on arm64 I just realized that the cloud agent binary for linux always is a x86 binary which in effect renders the cloud services unusable for arm64. Are there plans to provide an arm64 binary?

I opened an issue in the cloud agent repo (linked above).

WORKAROUND

On your arm64 instance run:

$ git clone https://github.com/cdr/cloud-agent.git
$ cd cloud-agent
$ go build -ldflags "-X go.coder.com/cloud-agent/internal/version.Version=v0.2.1"
$ sudo mv /usr/bin/code-server/lib/coder-cloud-agent /usr/bin/code-server/lib/coder-cloud-agent.x86_64.backup
$ sudo cp ./cloud-agent /usr/bin/code-server/lib/coder-cloud-agent

I am using Arch, so the installation directory may vary, also, I am not sure which is the latest version, and v0.2.1 is the minimum, so update if necessary.

But devs, please update the CI to include the proper binary.

Thanks for posting your workaround @VoyTechnology!

Yes, @oxy opened a PR to fix this: coder/cloud-agent#13

Hopefully we can get that reviewed by the team that manages that project and merged in soon.

Fixed in cdr/cloud-agent v0.2.2 thanks to @oxy https://github.com/cdr/cloud-agent/releases/tag/v0.2.2

We still need to download the correct release/correct architecture in our build scripts in this repo. Will work on that later next week once I get the vscode build scripts working again.

I fixed this a while ago in #3294 - just forgot to close 😅
