Hi! I have discovered Node Red and have been playing around with a lot of fun. I have created a weather site with some info on it like temp, humidity, wind.

But....I can't figure out how to make it accessible through 1880/weather in stead of 1880/ui

I can make a simple website and display the contents through 1880/anything.

I must inform you that I am not a programmer, and I can use some help 😉

Hope to hear from you!

Rob

Hi,

I think this will help you.

> The default url for the dashboard is based off your existing Node-RED httpRoot path with /ui added. This can be changed in your Node-RED settings.js file - `ui: { path: "ui" },`

[The source URL](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-dashboard)

_Edit:_  
Note that you have to restart the Node-Red server after adjusting the settings. The settings are only read at start-up, if I am not mistaken.

Hi, and thanks!

I would also like to keep the /ui url.  
Is it possible to achieve:  
/ui  
/weather  
/whatelse  
/etc

This way I can easily have multiple projects 😉 When a project is finished it can have it's own url.

Hey

I don't think this is possible.  
You can do the following: "/ ui / whatever". There is only 1 dashboard, so multiple URLs (multiple dashboards) are not possible.

I don't know if it is possible to set a custom URL per 'tab'.

I am also quite new to Node-Red (and "programming"). Someone who can confirm this?

You are correct - there is only one dashboard endpoint /ui OR /weather etc.  
(you can use other dashboards like uibuilder etc - that can accommodate multiple endpoints - but they require you to build the complete dashboard yourself).

What about a custom URL per tab?  
Just out of curiosity. 🤩

</div>

The dashboard is an Angular Single Page Application and there is (pedantically) a URL per tab but it is not customise-able .

I think second best option might be described here:

> [@Multiple Dashboards on one Node-Red-Instance?](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/multiple-dashboards-on-one-node-red-instance/21071):
>
> Hi, is there already a solution / fork for having more than one UI for different users ? I would like to run one Node-Run Instance and push values to different independent UIs that are not aware of each other. I think of individual UI-Links like: servername:1880\ui\_XZH7U servername:1880\ui\_AB5Z1 servername:1880\ui\_BB77i Can this be realized in any way ? BR G

Seems do-able. I'll publish my "ready" websites on an other server. I am using Proxmox so deployment of extra servers is very easy.

Thanks to all and if you have better solutions I'm all eyes & ears!

The rain info comes from a Dutch weather site, you can adjust this to your preferred site.
