Hi,

If you add `/ui` to your url the dashboard shows up

```auto
http://your ip:1880/ui

```

is this what you are looking for?

hi Cristian you are looking for this.  
but I want to get there automatically.  
without adding anything.  
I think you can do this on the file setting.

What do you mean by going there automatically? Do you mean you want the browser to open automatically when you boot (and then show the dashboard), or do you mean that when you manually open the browser it automatically shows the browser, or do you mean something else?  
Neither of those two is anything to do with node-red, they are OS and Browser settings.

You mean  
`http://yourip:1880`  
or even  
`http://yourip`  
Directing to the dashboard?

There was a post about this just a couple of weeks ago. Possible but not a simple task. More system related to direct `http://yourip:80` to `http://yourip:1880/ui` not something modifying a Node-RED config file can do for you.

Exactly I want when I open the browser manually it goes directly to the dashboard without going through the editor.  
can you do it from the settings file?  
if yes, what exactly are the properties?  
Thanks in advance

That is nothing to do with node-red, you just have to open the browser on the url ip:1880/ui. There will be a setting in the browser to say which url to open initially. where it is depends on which browser you use

sorry again for the question maybe the other time I had not explained myself well.

but I meant this; if there was a way from the settings file to change this setting.  
when I start the browser when I type this, as in the figure ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/9/9/999895b0a17e78eeb8a0b006060125ac49067920.png)

if I could go directly to my daschboard instead of my editor, because I wanted to hide it from the user.

 ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/1/6/167317464aaf14c43fe781efad9f1cf60e57a9fb.png)

automatically when I type only http: 192.168.1.200: 1880, it has to go directly to my daschboard.

And how would you end up in the node-red-editor ?

I mean if you replace the endpoint of the editor (:1800) to the dashboard, you can never reach the node red editor.
