I bookmarked the dashboard so I can still get to it, but the dashboard widget in Node Red is pointing to the URL without the socket ID on the end, and when I navigate there by clicking the link I get an http 404 (not found error).

Now, as I said, I have a workaround, but I'm not sure how long the bookmarked page will work...

Is there some way to fix this, or do I need to back up my flows and reinstall?

PS, running node red addon to home assistant, latest/greatest for both, and dashboard

Thanks

Why wouldnt it work?  
The only reason i can think of is if you are accessing the Dashboard from another system from where Node-red is installed and the ip of the NR server changes.

The way you access the Dashboard is

1. if its with a browser on the same system as node-red :  
`http://localhost:1880/ui`
2. another system on same network `http://<node-red-server-ip>:1880/ui`

no need to bookmark the socket part

So I'm not really typing or configuring in a url when it doesn't work, I'm clicking on the widget supplied by node red dashboard, and I get a 404 (see above). This is new behaviour and why I think my install  
of node red dashboard maybe has an issue - happened after a restart.

homeassistant .. sorry missed that part. i dont know anything about it  
obviously there something wrong with the button link  
in the url it says port 8123 ?  
if you try `http://<yourhomeassistantip>:1880/endpoint/ui/` ??  
does that work ?

Boom!

It was the port, for some reason it's using home assistant port (8123).

Fixing the port to 1880 worked!

Now, just gotta figure out what's the deal with the widget, but I can live with it. Maybe next update will fix it...

Thanks!
