I found a way to get Brave to work on MacOS. I used openssl s_client -connect localhost:8080 to retrieve the auto-generated (self-signed) certificate from the running code-server instance. I created a file with the extension .crt so I could import that key into Keychain Access.app. Then I used the search function in Keychain Access and double-clicked the new certificate to select “Always trust”. This enables all features other browsers don’t seem to have an issue with - images are shown, Webviews seem to work ok, Jupyter Notebooks run.
I am cross-posting this (see https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/4800).
No. This seems to be a limitation of Brave with self-signed certificates.
Agree, I think we need to generate a cert from mkcert which can be verified by your local CA. Then you use that existing cert by passing params to code-server like ./code-server --cert xxx --cert-key xxx instead of using code server generated self signed cert which can’t be verified by your local CA
@gogobd Almost certainly there is something wrong with your certificates and/or setup.
