After updating node-red 3.01 to 3.02 and NodeJS V14 to V16 can't start node-red any more.
nodered.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'
Please help with troubleshooting.
```auto
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node-red-start
Start Node-RED
Once Node-RED has started, point a browser at http://192.168.1.49:1880
On Pi Node-RED works better with the Firefox or Chrome browser
Use node-red-stop to stop Node-RED
Use node-red-start to start Node-RED again
Use node-red-log to view the recent log output
Use sudo systemctl enable nodered.service to autostart Node-RED at every boot
Use sudo systemctl disable nodered.service to disable autostart on boot

It would seem there is an error in this node you have loaded ???
maybe you can start node-red manually using `node-red --safe` so they flows don't run, and you can edit the flow to fix or remove that node then redeploy.

Welcome to the forum @`
How did you upgrade nodejs? If you did not use the Debian/Ubuntu/Pi upgrade script then after upgrading you should go into your .node-red folder and run
`npm rebuild`
If that doesn't fix it then make sure you are using the latest version of the node that is crashing node-red - node-red-contrib-eufy-security
Do you pass it a country code? If so then check that the one you are passing is valid. It may be, however, that the node is not compatible with nodejs 16.

I start node-red manually using `node-red --safe` as you advised and deleted `node-red-contrib-eufy-security` flow and now it is working fine.
Many thanks for your help.

I did use Pi upgrade script from Node-red website. Looks like "node-red-contrib-eufy-security" caused the problem. After removing it, node-red working fine.
Thanks
