I was running VS Code server without any issues for months on GCP. However, recently I had to update my machine. After installation I found out that code server is gone. So I installed it again using the official installation script. However, now when I try to run the code server I am getting error that [error listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 127.0.0.1:8080]
$ code-server
[2023-03-29T02:48:05.018Z] info code-server 4.11.0 85e083580dec27ef19827ff42d3c9257d56ea7e3

I tried finding if there is some version running in the background but there isn't any. How can I fix this issue?
UPDATE 1: I think I have found a process running on the culprit port 8080.
(conda)jupyter@splintered-learning:~$ sudo ps -ef | grep 8080

Now the question is how to fix this?
