Hi there,
Just got Flowforge up and running, but the Node-Red containers don't seem to start up and connect to Flowforge

Is there something needed to get these images connected?
Hi @grant.cpt
How have you installed FlowForge? Is it the Docker or k8s version?
Also what hardware are you running on
Just wondering if Flowforge topics will be addressed here in the Node-RED forum or if you plan to setup a separate? I understand they are related but what would be best?
@krambriw we will be setting up our own support forum in the near future.

Web Portal says to check the logs, but they aren't of real help
Thanks @grant.cpt
We introduced hang detection in FF 1.7 that ensures Node-RED isn't left in a hung state. With the current timings, it should be giving Node-RED about 35 seconds to start up and start responding to HTTP pings. The logs you share do show about that time interval between it logging 'Starting Node-RED' and 'hang detected'. The question then is what is Node-RED doing.
Can you check the logs tab in the FF application - we should see some activity there showing Node-RED starting up - the container log only shows the wrapper app's logs.
So rebooted the stack, there was an ECONNREFUSED for a port 5432
Below is the log output from FF application

KK so port 5432 is Postgres. Rebooted that container and then rebooted FF application. It's not complaining about connection refused.
However, Node-Red still isn't starting up
The logs we need to see are the Node-RED logs, not the FF logs.
From within the FlowForge application, you should see a Node-RED Logs tab on the left when looking at the instance page.
Oh my bad
Here are the requested logs. Very interesting behaviour...

Okay, so I took an older Docker image 1.5.0 - it's up and running, but I can't access the Node-Red interface. So I'm busy checking why this images/container isn't accessible
Would there be a reason why the Flowforge images doesn't public any ports?
Hi @grant.cpt did you get past these issues?
If so, can you tell us what you did?
Thanks
Because all the access is run through the NGINX proxy, there should be no direct access to the running containers
