Thanks - that explains it.

While I see options there to get around the permissions issue, it seems like it makes more sense to use NGINX reverse proxy to solve this issue. Then, I think, I can also do things like redirect requests on port 80 to 443, or perhaps accept requests both ways. Neither of which I believe I can do with Node-RED alone.

I found this guide. Do you think this would put me on a better track? [Node-red server with nginx reverse proxy howto guide](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-server-with-nginx-reverse-proxy-howto-guide/27397)
