I think it's Argon2. Can you try sharing a video clip of the error?

[im-coder-lg]

This is unrelated to this discussion. Can you elaborate?

[snuffy-hub]

the same problem

[jsjoeio]

Wait really? Can you post a link? That seems unusual 🤔 Unless they build with v14 but allow v16 in the dev environment?

[im-coder-lg]

I can't post a link but I can do an Asciicast, gotta make that!

The neofetch loaded up faster, so here is the result:

If there are more doubts, I think I will ask Gitpod how they have managed to implement Node 16 into their version of VS Code.

[jsjoeio]

Hmm...so they have Node v16 and you can run code-server in that env?

[im-coder-lg]

No, not till I get NVM there which I haven't till now but that's on my to-do list.

[arHSM]

This was the exact issue I encountered and here's how I got around it #4286 (comment)

[im-coder-lg]

That's a solution, but the real bug is not Termux, it is in fact a dependency called Argon2 which is used here for hashing passwords... I have failed trying to build that, and I think proot-distro is a compatibility layer since Android uses the x86 architecture.

[arHSM]

Yeah but tbh i wouldn't recommend installing code-server directly on termux, VHEditor exists but it uses its own modification of termux to use code-server without any issues and I think proot is just better. Well at the end it depends on what you choose to do, that being said yeah this is a bug.
