Ther is a virtual machine on a Server: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-37-generic x86\_64)

After installing node-red (sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red)

i secured node-red (edit file : /home/se/.node-red/settings.js)

Now i wanted to start node red on boot (using the install Raspberry pi script)  
(bash \<(curl -sL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)))

But now the username/password based authentication is lost!

in the settings.js there is nothing changed.

What must i changed?

Greetings

Sorry, possible my browser cached the authentication.  
With an other browser i got the authentication mask.

I will look!

FYI, If you use this:

after this:

> [@E\_T](#):

> After installing node-red (sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red)

you will be reinstalling NR again.
