code-server: Not allowed to display insecure content from http://localhost:2718/

[benz0li]

Description

Does not work on a non-localhost deployment of code-server, e.g. at https://demo.jupyter.b-data.ch.
ℹ️ This deployment uses Træfik as [front-]proxy¹ and for TLS termination.

Reproduce

intro.py.txt

1. Open https://demo.jupyter.b-data.ch
2. Sign in with your GitHub account
3. Select an image and start
4. Open a Terminal
   • pip install marimo click
5. Open code-sever
6. Install the marino extension from VSIX
7. Upload file intro.py.txt and rename to intro.py
8. Open file intro.py and start marimo server (edit or run)

Expected behavior

Output can be displayed both in internal and external browser.

Context

https://demo.jupyter.b-data.ch

Browser Output

Footnotes

1. Other proxies in place: JupyterHub: proxy no. 2; JupyterLab: Jupyter Server Proxy (proxy no. 3); code-server: web app (proxy no. 4) ↩

ShinyApps work just fine in the same context. It also works fine with the Shiny extension – both using the internal¹ and external browser.

@mscolnick It would be great to have this extension working properly with JupyterLab + code-server. I also advocated for this with other extensions:

R extension

• Modify function browser / argument url (options) to allow proxied requests REditorSupport/vscode-R#275
  • Support VSCODE_PROXY_URI REditorSupport/vscode-R#803

Quarto extension

• [Quarto Extension] Base preview/serve URL on VSCODE_PROXY_URI if existent quarto-dev/quarto-cli#1542
  • quarto-dev/quarto-cli@bc41cdb
• Render PDF: 'Open in Browser' opens wrong link (code-server with Jupyter Server Proxy) quarto-dev/quarto-cli#3352
  • Correct redirect for code-server quarto-dev/quarto-cli#3410

LaTeX Workshop extension

• PDF doesn't refresh nor sync in code-server (under JupyterHub) James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop#4158
  • Fix pdf viewer in code server James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop#3639

@benz0li - can you try the pre-release version (>0.3.3)? you can set https, host, and port? Is that enough to bypass this issue?

You may test yourself at https://demo.jupyter.b-data.ch. Login with your GitHub account.
ℹ️ If the server (container) does not start, just try again.

[benz0li]

@mscolnick Not that I am unwilling to test myself... but you get the results faster this way.

And you can check the Browser Console while testing.

P.S.: I consider https://demo.jupyter.b-data.ch a reference deployment where issues [like this one] can be reproduced by any user at any time – independently.

P.P.S.: @mscolnick There was the same error with the LaTeX Workshop extension. For more information, see James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop@e4e48b1#commitcomment-138712360 ff plus

It does not work on GitHub Codespaces with the internal browser either.

Tested using b-data's/my Data Science dev containers, Python scipy image.

[mscolnick]

Thanks @benz0li - i hopefully can test it out today (need to make the time)

[mscolnick]

@benz0li im still unsure how to test in your environment - but hopefully this fixes it 6bf39d1. I will release shortly

Unfortunately, it does not.

I will release shortly

Tested with marimo extension v0.4.1.

[benz0li]

Does not work with the marimo extension v0.4.2 either.

[benz0li]

Still does not work with

1. code-server
   • non-localhost deployment behind proxy
2. GitHub Codespaces
   • which is – in its essence – the same as 1.

[legout]

Any updates here? Would be awesome to get this working in code-server.

ℹ️ The marimo extension in the Open VSX Registry is not up to date...
