Hi,  
It's my node-red post.

_Versions installed :_  
_Node-RED version: v2.1.3_  
_Node.js version: v16.13.0_

By default,when a code is created,it's attached to the localhost:1880 and localhost/ui.  
I would like to be able to use another IP address,  
i read diffrent post on it but not so clear.  
Will be helpful some recommendations

Thanks!

T.

Welcome to the forum @JulesRosette

It attaches to the IP address of the machine running node-red.  
If you run the browser on the machine running node red then you can also use localhost. If you are running the browser on a different machine then you must use the IP of the machine running node-red.
