Node-red dashboard as webpage

[John O Connor]

Hi folks,

What is the easiest way of displaying a node-red dashboard as a webpage on the internet?

Thanks 

John

[Julian Knight]

You need to be very careful about what you use it for since security is still a work in progress.

Assuming you understand and can live with that, all you actually need to do is create a path using your router. Normally listed under the heading of "NAT" or something similar on the router. You create a link from the public facing IP address and port to the private IP address and port.

If you need the page to have a name rather than a number, you will need to either register with a Dynamic DNS service or you will need to register a domain name.

A good place to start would be searching this forum for "dashboard internet"

[Librae L]

John, you can try Go.IoT(https://goiot.cc). It's open and free for register and use by personal. You can get a unique domain url after deploy.

Thanks for the help, the router only lets me forward to a port number, but the dashboard is running at http://127.0.0.1:1880/ui/#/0

Can you let us know what router you are using, then I can look up the settings.

The 127.0.0.1 is referring to the internal address and only applies if you are using a browser (for instance) on the same device that NR is running on - e.g. in the case of a Pi running NR and the Linux GUI or running NR on a development workstation.

If you were to access NR from a different computer on your local network, you would use a different IP address right? Something like 192.168.1.65. This is the address that you need to forward TO.

[John O Connor]

Hi Julian, I can do the forwarding and the port setup etc. I have no-ip running on the gateway, so thats all grand. Internal IP is 192.168.1.9, so that can be accessed from anywhere on the network.

Its a Huawei HG658c. 

The problem is in the port forwarding, it will only let me put in a port number. and not the /ui/#/0

Just forward 1880 to 192.168.1.9 

your url will be http://whateveryourexternalipis:1880

NodeRed will handle the rest :)

When I do that, it goes straight to node-red, I was hoping to just display the dashboard.

Ah, right, you don't need to worry about that as it is the path part of the URL and that will be the same externally as internally, it is only the IP address (and optionally the port) that changes.

If you want to hide the path as well, you will need a reverse proxy to do that. You can use most web servers (IIS, NGINX or Apache for example) as reverse proxies or you can use a dedicated proxy (like HAproxy).

Would it work to feed the dashboard url into a websocket node? Then forward that port? 

Just a thought.

Theres a good idea, what had you in mind?

John

[Julian Knight]

Not sure what you mean on theat Mark?

[mark hubrich]

Not sure how to explain so I'll give it my best shot.

Similar to how we show worldmap node in dashboard. Maybe tcp node would be better...

[Librae]

Julian, in fact, I think Node-RED can do a lot that Nginx/Apache can do ;)

Thanks,

Librae

Please add these three nodes:

http in (GET /) -> function template -> http response

in template node, you write a little piece of html javascript to redirect / to /ui, like:

<script>

    window.location.href = '/ui';

</script>
