I need to make it easier for ppl to access since i'm making a industrial dashboard, right now it is like "industry:1880/dashboard" and i want to make it something like "industry/dashboard". Sorry if it is duplicated post, but when i searched it I either didn't find or dind't really understand and th…

There is nothing magic about port 1880, it can be any free port. Those below 1024 are privileged which is why you need root or the systemd workaround (systemd itself runs as root). Node-RED will happily run on port 80 or 443 but if you want users not to see the port number in their browsers, you ha…

hmmm I guess I will just leave as it is then? It's not like it is super hard to access anyway, i just wanted to make it even easier, and more like a regular website.

It really isn't that hard to do.

I see, i guess i will leave it as it is, cause they'd need to type out ":80" anyway in order to access, since otherwise it would just return a google search

The problem is, i tried that, I changed the port, but as I said it returned a google search instead...

No, that isn't correct. If I'm running Node-RED on a device 192.168.1.20 without TLS configured and I set the port to 80, users can just type the IP address and it will just work.

Then something else is misconfigured. Without knowing the configuration it is hard to be more specific.

the thing is, they referenced the ip of my machine as "industry" so typing out "industry/dashboard" in the google chrome won't do.

OK, for that to work, you need something running on the same network that translates the name industry to an IP address. There are several possible ways of doing that. The reason the browsers are doing a search is because they don't recognise industry as an address. Typically you would have indust…

Well, since i'm not really the one who takes care of that part i will talk with the IT team and see what we can do.

Make a bookmark in the browser to the :1880 address, it isn't that hard, unless you wan't to give up on all kinds of security risks or setup+maintain all kinds of tools to reduce that risk and make it work.
