Hi Node-REDers,
I have 2 Node-RED installations running on raspberries since a year with the exact same flow and credential file. I managed to sync the credentials for those two and its working fine so far. One of those installations needs to move to a virtual server with a regular ubuntu I installed a fresh Node-RED v3.0.2 on this and upgraded the previous two on the latest version as well. But on the new server I recieve the following error:
Credentials could not be decrypted
The flow credential file is encrypted, but the project's encryption key is missing or invalid.
The flow credential file will be reset on the next deployment. Any existing flow credentials will be cleared.
There is a pretty similar thread wich was solved by knolleary in Moving node-RED - Failed to decrypt credentials - General - Node-RED Forum (nodered.org) but I don't have a .config.json file! I ran
find / -name .config.jsonwithout any result.
What I tried is
- enable credentialSecret in settings.js
- copy nearly every file from ~/.node-red so I have basicly two identical folders
- even settings.js is identical now
everything still runs but same credential error
How do I know if I have projects enabled or not?
My settings.js file is old and created around late v1
/**

// Securing Node-RED
// -----------------
// To password protect the Node-RED editor and admin API, the following
// property can be used. See http://nodered.org/docs/security.html for details.
//adminAuth: {
// type: "credentials",
// users: [{
// username: "admin",
// password: "$2a$08$zZWtXTja0fB1pzD4sHCMyOCMYz2Z6dNbM6tl8sJogENOMcxWV9DN.",
// permissions: "*"
// }]
//},
adminAuth: {
type: "credentials",
users:
[{
username: "censored",
password: "censored",
permissions: "*"
},
{
username: "censored",
password: "censored",
permissions: "*"
}]
},
// To password protect the node-defined HTTP endpoints (httpNodeRoot), or
// the static content (httpStatic), the following properties can be used.
// The pass field is a bcrypt hash of the password.
// See http://nodered.org/docs/security.html#generating-the-password-hash
//httpNodeAuth: {user:"user",pass:"censored."},
//httpStaticAuth: {user:"user",pass:"censored."},
// The following property can be used to enable HTTPS
// See http://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_createserver_options_requestlistener
// for details on its contents.
// This property can be either an object, containing both a (private) key and a (public) certificate,
// or a function that returns such an object:
//// https object:
https: {
key: require("fs").readFileSync('/home/tfuchs/.node-red/.cert/privkey.pem'),
cert: require("fs").readFileSync('/home/tfuchs/.node-red/.cert/fullchain.pem')
},
////https function:
// https: function() {
// // This function should return the options object, or a Promise
// // that resolves to the options object
// return {
// key: require("fs").readFileSync('privkey.pem'),
// cert: require("fs").readFileSync('cert.pem')
// }
// },
// The following property can be used to refresh the https settings at a
// regular time interval in hours.
// This requires:
// - the `https` setting to be a function that can be called to get
// the refreshed settings.
// - Node.js 11 or later.
//httpsRefreshInterval : 12,
// The following property can be used to cause insecure HTTP connections to
// be redirected to HTTPS.
requireHttps: true,
// The following property can be used to disable the editor. The admin API
// is not affected by this option. To disable both the editor and the admin
// API, use either the httpRoot or httpAdminRoot properties
//disableEditor: false,
// The following property can be used to configure cross-origin resource sharing
// in the HTTP nodes.
// See https://github.com/troygoode/node-cors#configuration-options for
// details on its contents. The following is a basic permissive set of options:
//httpNodeCors: {
// origin: "*",
// methods: "GET,PUT,POST,DELETE"
//},
// If you need to set an http proxy please set an environment variable
// called http_proxy (or HTTP_PROXY) outside of Node-RED in the operating system.
// For example - http_proxy=http://myproxy.com:8080
// (Setting it here will have no effect)
// You may also specify no_proxy (or NO_PROXY) to supply a comma separated
// list of domains to not proxy, eg - no_proxy=.acme.co,.acme.co.uk
// The following property can be used to add a custom middleware function
// in front of all http in nodes. This allows custom authentication to be
// applied to all http in nodes, or any other sort of common request processing.
// It can be a single function or an array of middleware functions.
//httpNodeMiddleware: function(req,res,next) {
// // Handle/reject the request, or pass it on to the http in node by calling next();
// // Optionally skip our rawBodyParser by setting this to true;
// //req.skipRawBodyParser = true;
// next();
//},
// The following property can be used to add a custom middleware function
// in front of all admin http routes. For example, to set custom http
// headers. It can be a single function or an array of middleware functions.
// httpAdminMiddleware: function(req,res,next) {
// // Set the X-Frame-Options header to limit where the editor
// // can be embedded
// //res.set('X-Frame-Options', 'sameorigin');
// next();
// },
// The following property can be used to pass custom options to the Express.js
// server used by Node-RED. For a full list of available options, refer
// to http://expressjs.com/en/api.html#app.settings.table
//httpServerOptions: { },
// The following property can be used to verify websocket connection attempts.
// This allows, for example, the HTTP request headers to be checked to ensure
// they include valid authentication information.
//webSocketNodeVerifyClient: function(info) {
// // 'info' has three properties:
// // - origin : the value in the Origin header
// // - req : the HTTP request
// // - secure : true if req.connection.authorized or req.connection.encrypted is set
// //
// // The function should return true if the connection should be accepted, false otherwise.
// //
// // Alternatively, if this function is defined to accept a second argument, callback,
// // it can be used to verify the client asynchronously.
// // The callback takes three arguments:
// // - result : boolean, whether to accept the connection or not
// // - code : if result is false, the HTTP error status to return
// // - reason: if result is false, the HTTP reason string to return
//},
// The following property can be used to seed Global Context with predefined
// values. This allows extra node modules to be made available with the
// Function node.
// For example,
// functionGlobalContext: { os:require('os') }
// can be accessed in a function block as:
// global.get("os")
functionGlobalContext: {
// os:require('os'),
// jfive:require("johnny-five"),
// j5board:require("johnny-five").Board({repl:false})
},
// Allow the Function node to load additional npm modules
functionExternalModules: false,
// `global.keys()` returns a list of all properties set in global context.
// This allows them to be displayed in the Context Sidebar within the editor.
// In some circumstances it is not desirable to expose them to the editor. The
// following property can be used to hide any property set in `functionGlobalContext`
// from being list by `global.keys()`.
// By default, the property is set to false to avoid accidental exposure of
// their values. Setting this to true will cause the keys to be listed.
exportGlobalContextKeys: false,
// Uncomment the following to run node-red in your preferred language:
// lang: "de",
// Context Storage
// The following property can be used to enable context storage. The configuration
// provided here will enable file-based context that flushes to disk every 30 seconds.
// Refer to the documentation for further options: https://nodered.org/docs/api/context/
//
contextStorage: {
default: {
module:"localfilesystem"
},
},
// The following property can be used to order the categories in the editor
// palette. If a node's category is not in the list, the category will get
// added to the end of the palette.
// If not set, the following default order is used:
//paletteCategories: ['subflows', 'common', 'function', 'network', 'sequence', 'parser', 'storage'],
// Configure the logging output
logging: {
// Only console logging is currently supported
console: {
// Level of logging to be recorded. Options are:
// fatal - only those errors which make the application unusable should be recorded
// error - record errors which are deemed fatal for a particular request + fatal errors
// warn - record problems which are non fatal + errors + fatal errors
// info - record information about the general running of the application + warn + error + fatal errors
// debug - record information which is more verbose than info + info + warn + error + fatal errors
// trace - record very detailed logging + debug + info + warn + error + fatal errors
// off - turn off all logging (doesn't affect metrics or audit)
level: "info",
// Whether or not to include metric events in the log output
metrics: false,
// Whether or not to include audit events in the log output
audit: false
}
},
// Configure how the runtime will handle external npm modules.
// This covers:
// - whether the editor will allow new node modules to be installed
// - whether nodes, such as the Function node are allowed to have their
// own dynamically configured dependencies.
// The allow/denyList options can be used to limit what modules the runtime
// will install/load. It can use '*' as a wildcard that matches anything.
externalModules: {
// autoInstall: false, // Whether the runtime will attempt to automatically install missing modules
// autoInstallRetry: 30, // Interval, in seconds, between reinstall attempts
// palette: { // Configuration for the Palette Manager
// allowInstall: true, // Enable the Palette Manager in the editor
// allowUpload: true, // Allow module tgz files to be uploaded and installed

// Customising the editor
editorTheme: {
projects: {
// To enable the Projects feature, set this value to true
enabled: false,
workflow: {
// Set the default projects workflow mode.
// - manual - you must manually commit changes
// - auto - changes are automatically committed

Hope someone can help me out on this and thanks in advance!
