Trying to install Visual Code IDE in VM Instance. After running the code-server, while checking view on browser, it is giving an error. Error: Could not connect to Cloud Shell on port 8080. Ensure your server is listening on port 8080 and try again.

    Your code is listening on `localhost`. This means that you cannot access the program from outside Cloud Shell. You can verify that your program is running by opening another Cloud Shell tab and running `curl -i http://localhost:8080/` You will see the output of your program. `localhost` is the loopback device. To fix the problem, change the listening port from `localhost` to `0.0.0.0`. – John Hanley Nov 28 '19 at 17:08

Try openning on your browser: http://[your-external-ip]:8080/

Its important to change the default "https" to "http".

I also added the port 8080 on my firewall permisions on gcp.

You should set your host to 0.0.0.0. When you start the server, your command could be like this:

./code-server --no-auth --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0

And everything should work fine. Try it :D

  • I tried running with the above mentioned command. still it's not working "Preview on Port 8080" - it's giving an error "400(Not Found)!! The requested URL was not found on this server" – TRD Saifuddin Nov 30 '19 at 05:51
  • You tried to use `https://8080-dot-YOURID-dot-devshell.appspot.com/login` as the tutorial you're using suggests? – Puteri Dec 02 '19 at 18:18
