How do I open it?

[AirplanegoBrr]

I dont really understand how I would access it outside my network.(I know how to do the port forward on my wifi router) I think the password in my config file is ok so I dont wanna set up a lot more stuff. I dont know what the address to set in the config should be. Trying to access it VIA the iPad app on IOS if that helps!

One thing you could do is run code-server --link and then accessing it via the browser on your iPad?

Here's a video explaining how to use link: Deploying code-server with --link

To enjoy port forwarding from your router @AirplanegoBrr, your ISP needs to allow that from their end too. Be sure, that you have a public IP address provided by your ISP. Else, you can try better alternatives like code-server --link as provided by code-server itself. Else, you can also try, NGROK, Kite as other alternatives, but these are all exhaustible when under a free plan.

This is the default config.yaml file and it should work just fine.

++bind-addr: 0.0.0.0:8880

As of the issue of not being able to access it from the internet(outside network) without having to use ssh try setting up ngrok

Hope this works for you,

Lol just noticed the guy above also said ngrok

[nooobcoder]

Yup, only downside, a ngrok pro account is needed to have a static link to the server.
