Projects problem with git credentials

General
1

I tried using the Node-RED Projects feature but can't get it working.

specs:
running as docker container:
image: nodered/node-red:latest
with a reverse proxy between, doing the authentication part (if that matters).

Node-RED version: v2.0.6
Node.js version: v14.17.6
git version: 2.24.4
"raw" installation, so no (additional) modules installed

Error message, when I try to create a new project:
image

I tried multiple git credentials but these are "not working":

image
image1034×663 28.4 KB

also if I generate a ssh-key it didn't work.

And I can say, my docker image is up to date, as the output of the following command is the below:
docker image pull nodered/node-red:latest

latest: Pulling from nodered/node-red
Digest: sha256:ddd05759e91dce9db82d36a3df66011936cc49d59ac329589df379c44e74867e
Status: Image is up to date for nodered/node-red:latest
docker.io/nodered/node-red:latest

If you have any ideas or need some informations, don't hesitate to write to me.
Thank you.

As I tried a third time, I updated the image to the new node-red version 2.1.
While updating I thought, maybe the settings could differ so I let it create default settings.js which brought the projects working. So there is definitely a error in my configuration, so I'd thought of sharing it here.

difference to default settings.js:

  1. as described in docs, to make it read the env var for credential secret
module.exports = {
    credentialSecret: process.env.NODE_RED_CREDENTIAL_SECRET,
//...}

2. I disabled auth beucase I use another authentication mecanism. (this was the problem! :face_with_raised_eyebrow: :slightly_frowning_face:)

adminAuth: {
    type: "credentials",
    default: {
        permissions: "*"
    }
},
  1. editor theme midnight-red 4. codeEditor lib monaco and 5. theme tomorrow-night 
editorTheme: {
    theme: "midnight-red",
    projects: {
        enabled: true,
        /* true or false no difference here, because I set it over environment variable */
        workflow: {
            mode: "manual"
        }
    },
    codeEditor: {
        lib: "monaco"
        options: {
            theme: "tomorrow-night",
        }
    }
},
  • If I only have 1 and 3 (only theme) projects work.
  • (it looks to me as) 2 is the problem, also somehow not even neccecary anymore in this new version (2.1)

I still don't know why, but the problem occurs definitely when disabling auth with following settings.js:

module.exports = {
    adminAuth: {
        type: "credentials",
        default: {
            permissions: "*"
        }
    },
}

So if you run into the same problem, you might be fine by just removing/commenting out that part of settings.js.
