release-github-draft.sh: Remove incorrect assets reference 
I think at some point this script created the release and attached
assets but that's not the case anymore.

For some reason this would error with undefined variable reference for
joe but bash doesn't complain for me or Asher.

Not sure what the difference is.

This document demonstrates how to install `code-server` on
various distros and operating systems.
## Upgrading
When upgrading you can just install the new version over the old one. code-server
maintains all user data in `~/.local/share/code-server` so that it is preserved in between
installations.
## install.sh
We have a [script](../install.sh) to install code-server for Linux, macOS and FreeBSD.
It tries to use the system package manager if possible.
First run to print out the install process:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```
Now to actually install:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
```
The script will print out how to run and start using code-server.
If you believe an install script used with `curl | sh` is insecure, please give
[this wonderful blogpost](https://sandstorm.io/news/2015-09-24-is-curl-bash-insecure-pgp-verified-install) by
[sandstorm.io](https://sandstorm.io) a read.
If you'd still prefer manual installation despite the below [detection reference](#detection-reference) and `--dry-run`
then continue on for docs on manual installation. The [`install.sh`](../install.sh) script runs the _exact_ same
commands presented in the rest of this document.
### Flags
- `--dry-run` to echo the commands for the install process without running them.
- `--method` to choose the installation method.
- `--method=detect` to detect the package manager but fallback to `--method=standalone`.
- `--method=standalone` to install a standalone release archive into `~/.local`.
- `--prefix=/usr/local` to install a standalone release archive system wide.
- `--version=X.X.X` to install version `X.X.X` instead of latest.
- `--help` to see full usage docs.
### Detection Reference
- For Debian, Ubuntu and Raspbian it will install the latest deb package.
- For Fedora, CentOS, RHEL and openSUSE it will install the latest rpm package.
- For Arch Linux it will install the AUR package.
- For any unrecognized Linux operating system it will install the latest standalone release into `~/.local`.
- Add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH` to run code-server.
- For macOS it will install the Homebrew package.
- If Homebrew is not installed it will install the latest standalone release into `~/.local`.
- Add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH` to run code-server.
- For FreeBSD, it will install the [npm package](#yarn-npm) with `yarn` or `npm`.
- If ran on an architecture with no releases, it will install the [npm package](#yarn-npm) with `yarn` or `npm`.
- We only have releases for amd64 and arm64 presently.
- The [npm package](#yarn-npm) builds the native modules on postinstall.
## Debian, Ubuntu
```bash
curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.8.1/code-server_3.8.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i code-server_3.8.1_amd64.deb
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE
```bash
curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.8.1/code-server-3.8.1-amd64.rpm
sudo rpm -i code-server-3.8.1-amd64.rpm
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Arch Linux
```bash
# Installs code-server from the AUR using yay.
yay -S code-server
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
```bash
# Installs code-server from the AUR with plain makepkg.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/code-server.git
cd code-server
makepkg -si
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## yarn, npm
We recommend installing with `yarn` or `npm` when:
1. You aren't on `amd64` or `arm64`.
2. If you're on Linux with glibc < v2.17 or glibcxx < v3.4.18
**note:** Installing via `yarn` or `npm` builds native modules on install and so requires C dependencies.
See [./npm.md](./npm.md) for installing these dependencies.
You will need at least node v12 installed. See [#1633](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1633).
```bash
yarn global add code-server
# Or: npm install -g code-server
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## macOS
```bash
brew install code-server
brew services start code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Standalone Releases
We publish self contained `.tar.gz` archives for every release on [github](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
They bundle the node binary and `node_modules`.
These are created from the [npm package](#yarn-npm) and the rest of the releases are created from these.
Only requirement is glibc >= 2.17 && glibcxx >= v3.4.18 on Linux and for macOS there is no minimum system requirement.
1. Download the latest release archive for your system from [github](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases).
2. Unpack the release.
3. You can run code-server by executing `./bin/code-server`.
You can add the code-server `bin` directory to your `$PATH` to easily execute `code-server`
without the full path every time.
Here is an example script for installing and using a standalone `code-server` release on Linux:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.local/lib ~/.local/bin
curl -fL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.8.1/code-server-3.8.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
| tar -C ~/.local/lib -xz
mv ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.8.1-linux-amd64 ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.8.1
ln -s ~/.local/lib/code-server-3.8.1/bin/code-server ~/.local/bin/code-server
PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"
code-server
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
```
## Docker
```bash
# This will start a code-server container and expose it at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
# It will also mount your current directory into the container as `/home/coder/project`
# and forward your UID/GID so that all file system operations occur as your user outside
# the container.
#
# Your $HOME/.config is mounted at $HOME/.config within the container to ensure you can
# easily access/modify your code-server config in $HOME/.config/code-server/config.json
# outside the container.
mkdir -p ~/.config
docker run -it --name code-server -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
-v "$HOME/.config:/home/coder/.config" \
-v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" \
-u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
-e "DOCKER_USER=$USER" \
codercom/code-server:latest
```
Our official image supports `amd64` and `arm64`.
For `arm32` support there is a popular community maintained alternative:
