That seems odd, code-server has changed a lot since I wrote this gist perhaps it's best to try to follow the instructions at https://github.com/cdr/code-server

Hey, I've used this great script and want to thank you for it. I'm not sure but it looks like the name has changed again to "code-server-3.3.0-linux-amd64" for the tarball, from what I can tell.
