How to automatically open the uibuilder webpages after node-red start? My flow works well when I manually open the uibuilder webpages, but how to automatically do this?  
Thanks for your help!

Do you mean that you want your OS to automatically open the browser at a particular website on boot?  
If so then that will depend on your OS and browser.

If not then how are you starting node-red?

I mean how to "Open index" like below automatically.  
Is it possible to make "index.html" open automatically on a web page without clicking this button?

Best not to name your base URL path "index". It will be confusing.

If you hover over the button, you will see that your browser will show you what the full URL is for your web app. You don't need to include the `/index.html` part since that is the default.

Once you know the full URL, you can type it into the address bar of your browser, save it as a shortcut, etc. Just like any other web endpoint.

As Colin asks, what other automation do you want?
