Node v14 is the newest version supported by code-server at this time.

error /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/argon2: Command failed.

Argh, this seems to be blocking a lot of people. Can you check the node-argon2 docs here?

Node v14 is the newest version supported by code-server at this time.

Unfortunately v14 isn't available anymore according to node the new nodejs-lts v16 started 5 days ago, and I can't find the old package in archives, i think you will have to somehow support the new lts?

I had a backup of my previous install, i will stick with it for now with code-server v3.9.3, i will test again with steps from node-argon2 when I'm free, thanks guys for your efforts

Hmm... can you try using nvm to install v14?

Sounds good!

[anonimo82]

Having the same issue here.
Is it there any update?

[jsjoeio]

@anonimo82 have you tried using v14?

[anonimo82]

No, how can I?

[jsjoeio]

@anonimo82 use nvm. Here is a video or you can read the docs here

[tmgast]

Chiming in as I'm also attempting to do a new install with a similar environment.

nvm doesn't work on Termux because Termux is now required to use a PREFIX env var to work with Android 11's new security policies. nvm does not allow this and the only suggestion I've seen is to clear the PREFIX, which is not possible without completely breaking Termux.

I've also attempted to use n, which is a similar solution for running multiple instance of Node, however, n doesn't appear to install a version of Node compatible with the OS. It may still be a solution, though more testing is needed, but I currently believe Termux/Android users are stuck with only latest and -lts versions of Node.

[anonimo82]

@jsjoeio consider I'm working with Termux, package nvm is not available there

[jsjoeio]

@tmgast thanks for all the details! I wasn't aware of that. Shoot, well I'm at a stand still then. I'm not sure exactly what we can do here 🤔 I'm going to mark this as blocked until we can find a workaround.

cc @code-asher in case you see any obvious solutions.

[anonimo82]

Workaround: use VHEditor https://github.com/vhqtvn/VHEditor-Android

By the way, all we need to do is targeting the latest node.js version. I hope it's easy enough

Edit: For the records, here is the issue

Note I'm using nodejs-lts package from Termux repository
