Routing external HTTP message to Node Red

General
1

Hi All

Glad to jump in this forum for my first topic
I installed Nod-red on external virtual machine on Ubuntu 18 at @IP node-red-machine
I want to route http message to my node-red machine to be handled by a HTTP IN Node (POST).
what must be the HTTP routing in order to be handle by Node-Red
I suggest the following routing URL : HTTP://<@IP node-red-machine>/dir1
and
HTP IN Node : POST at URL /dir1

But it does not work

IS there a specific port to open on the node-red machine ?

Thanx 4 your help

Hi @Shakey7

by default, Node-RED uses port 1880 so you'd need to include that in the url and ensure that port is properly exposed ... http://ip-of-machine:1880/dir1

Alternatively, you could configure NR to listen on port 80 via the settings file.
