Compiling and running compiled version with node . opens up a new VSCode Window

[sevetseh28]

Hi, im running the project within a devcontainer.
I successfully compiled it, but when I do:
node . in the release folder as stated by the docs, I get:

vscode ➜ /workspaces/code-server/release (main) $ node . --auth none
[2024-09-10T14:14:31.570Z] error Please specify at least one file or folder

So I run:
node . .

And right after that it opens a new VSCode Window (of my local VSCode IDE) instead, and the server doesn't start.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Is this inside VS Code's integrated terminal? When inside the integrated terminal code-server always tries to open a file in the existing code-server instance. It does this by looking for the VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI environment variable, so one way to get this to work is to unset it:

VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI= node . --auth none
