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…

You can change the port from settings.js to anything >1024. If you want to use something <1024 you would generally have to run Node-RED as root which is not recommended. However, you can get round that when running a service from systemd - I can't remember the details off the top of my head - it is …

i've tried switching the port to 80 but it didn't really help for i could not access the page, it would search in the google... malbe i'd need to add something after a tfot? like industry."somethinghere"/dashboard?

(Again: I'm not expert) You seem to be missing a basic principle of how it works. HTTP uses port 80. That is the standard for the internet. Browsers talk on port 80. Node-Red is a JavaScript platform that may send HTML stuff down to the browser, but it isn't HTML. It is JavaScript. @TotallyI…

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.

Anyway to remove the "1880" from the node-red url?

(I'm not expert, but......)

The 1880 is a port and is used to get to the Node-Red page.

HTML pages are .... 80 usually.

As that is the default it is not needed/used to get to normal (other?) pages.

If you want to access Node-Red you will need to use 1880
