I need to get nodered to work with home assistant and get this error:  
SSL has been enabled using the ‘ssl’ option,  
[20:53:10] FATAL: this requires a SSL certificate file which is  
[20:53:10] FATAL: configured using the ‘certfile’ option in the  
[20:53:10] FATAL: add-on configuration.  
[20:53:10] FATAL:  
[20:53:10] FATAL: Unfortunately, the file specified in the  
[20:53:10] FATAL: ‘certfile’ option does not exists.  
[20:53:10] FATAL:  
[20:53:10] FATAL: Please ensure the certificate file exists and  
[20:53:10] FATAL: is placed in the ‘/ssl/’ directory.  
[20:53:10] FATAL:  
[20:53:10] FATAL: In case you don’t have SSL yet, consider getting  
[20:53:10] FATAL: a SSL certificate or setting the ‘ssl’ option  
[20:53:10] FATAL: to ‘false’ in case you are not planning on using  
[20:53:10] FATAL: SSL with this add-on.  
[20:53:10] FATAL:  
[20:53:10] FATAL: Check the add-on manual for more information.

Not sure how to change the ssl certificate. New to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's probably a question for the Home Assistant forums, since I believe they run Node-RED in a docker container in the "HA OS" and very few of use here run Home Assistant.

Also those errors don't look like they've come from Node-RED
