Hello all! I'm in the process of installing node-red and have run the script found here: Running on Raspberry Pi : Node-RED The next step is Securing Node-Red ( Securing Node-RED : Node-RED ).

In general, if you insist on getting node-red to handle TLS, the best place is anywhere where the user id running node-red has read-only access. Much bette…

@TotallyInformation Julian I appreciate your insight. This system will be used in an apartment that I'll be (tentatively) renting to AirBnB guests. I won't be living on site, so I'm thinking it MIGHT be nice to monitor the system remotely. However, if it's going to be super costly/pose security risk…

@Colin Thank you for your suggestion and it looks like I'm using a router that does not have port forwarding. It does show (in terminal) when I run node red "server now running at http://127.0.0.1:1880"
