How to access the console to get the Web Socket port?

General

I need to establish a web socket connection between Node-RED and a web site so I need the proper port.

How can I have access to the Node-RED console to get the information on the ws port?

Please advise, thanks, Daniele

The Web Socket port is the one for Node RED + the path you set up in the web socket Listener Node

ws://<Node-RED-IP-Address>:1880/<Path>

But I will leave with this:

DO NOT EXPOSE NODE-RED TO THE INTERNET
UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
AND HAVE CORRECTLY SECURED ACCESS

Ha, Marcus you are getting worse than me on security. :grinning:

Just to expand slightly though. Don't forget that the port is actually set in the settings.js file when you start Node-RED. It will, of course be different in different circumstances:

  • If you changed it in settings
  • If you overrode it in startup parameters or a suitable environment variable
  • If you are running behind a reverse proxy.
