How to manage WIFI settings via dashboard

Dashboard
1

Hi,
i use a NanoPi with ubuntu, snapd, node-red and want to manage WIFI settings via forms and exec nodes

My image comes with "nmcli" (Network manager cli) with works perfect via putty (command line)

CLI commands works fine:

Via exec-nodes it is NOT possible to use the commands.

FYI:
Other cli-commands work fine (example "timedatectl")

What can i try? Can anybody gives me a tip?

Thank you
Alexander

Try giving it the full path to the nmcli command. which nmcli will tell you where it is.

You are running in a snap which is a virtual environment. So nmcli is not included inside the snap.

By default we use strict confinement. You can relax that by using --classic mode..

Thx, good tip, I do more research.

So, i switched back to an "nativ" installation of node-red without snap.
In this case i can use NMCLI directly from Node-RED

I want to learn more about snapd, but at the moment i have not the time :sweat:

I switched to snap because i had problems with connecting to ttyUSB0, But for that i also have found a solution. See this post:
