Upstream vscode does not support Node.js 14, as I understand it, so that makes it difficult for us to guarantee reliable support for it.

One of the commenters mentioned that it's possible to install Node.js 14 on termux - have you tried that? Binary builds of code-server (which include an appropriate Node.js runtime) for a wider variety of ARM processors might help for this issue as well.

You can install nodejs-lts on Termux, which is a 14.x version of nodejs. That will let you set up code-server.

termux nodejs-lts now is v16

Any update on that? I've been trying to install nodejs 14 on Tremux for many hours now with no success :(

None so far :( We'll let you know when we have any updates here. We're focusing on getting the next release but we can take a look in the next sprint!

One way is to use proot-distro I've had some issues with directly installing code-server on termux but after installing ubuntu with proot-distro and following this guide to install nodejs 14.x and yarn on it I was able to setup code-server pretty easily by running curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh and proot-distro also mounts your /storage so you can just run termux-setup-storage outside of the proot-distro and allow termux access to your storage after that you can just start code server by code-server

EDIT : Just think that this could be helpful, the guide I mentioned work just fine but I tried playing with NVM it works pretty well and installing nodejs v14 is pretty easier than the above-mentioned guide.

About this, you could add Node 14 by getting+unzipping the tar zip, and moving it to /usr/bin. Then you can get code-server 3.10.2 and use it.
