Does password hashing have to be run on the same server that code-server is running on

[simonjcarr]

I am trying to run code-server in docker. I want to hash my password using the Python argon2 module and use the generated password for vm's running on Linux.

When I fire up the containers, I am told that a password has been supplied using $HASSHED_PASSWORD, but I always get the error incorrect password.

This is how I am creating the password

➜  ~ echo -n "password" | npx argon2-cli -e
$argon2i$v=19$m=4096,t=3,p=1$pYZYdaYLyi6sfIyK4LwgGg$eh4fG7MCsOPdGhAfB+r878peTifSN2DGZ4OkByirYpg

Then I use it in my docker run command like so

docker run -d --name codeserver --restart always -e HASHED_PASSWORD="$argon2i$v=19$m=4096,t=3,p=1$pYZYdaYLyi6sfIyK4LwgGg$eh4fG7MCsOPdGhAfB+r878peTifSN2DGZ4OkByirYpg" --network host linuxserver/code-server

Hmm...I tested locally and also got an error. But if you set `hashed-password: "argon2..." it works.

Can you try that? I'll open a bug report though.

Thank you and much appreciated, at least I know it's not be going mad.
