Custom domains for dashboard endpoint

General
8

Ok that seems to work, I just tested this on my localhost installation, in settings.js I did this:

  httpAdminRoot: '/cfg',
  httpAdminMiddleware: [
    (req,res,next) => {
        if ( req.host == "127.0.0.1" ) {
          next();
        } else {
          res.status(404).send("Not Found - " + req.host );
        }
    }
  ],

  /*** somewhere further down ***/

  ui: {
    path: "/",
    middleware: [
      (req, res, next) => {
        if ( req.hostname == "localhost" ) {
          next();
        } else {
          res.status(404).send("Not Found - " + req.hostname );
        }
      }
    ],
    ioMiddleware: [
      /* need to do the same for the socket */
    ]
  },

This meant that I had the following:

http://localhost/cfg --> flow editor
http://127.0.0.1/cfg --> 404 Not Found

http://localhost/ --> 404 Not Found
http://127.0.0.1/ --> Dashboard

The next step would be to try this out at Heroku and check whether the domain (and which header with domain) is passed through to the Node-RED endpoint.
