Trying to access dashboard - cannot find correct url

Dashboard
1

I am running Node Red companion installed through HACS on a green. I am working on my flows using Brave on a windows machine. The following json is a basic flow for demo.

I can see the dashboard on the layout tab and when I click the button that wants to open the web page for the dashboard, I get a 404 error.

AI said that it is a configuration error!

How do I find the correct url for the dashboard? And where can I correct it? I have looked through the node red config files but am not anywhere enough competent to update without some guidance.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ps. I edited your post to correctly format the JSON

Ps, that looks very much like you are using the original, now depreciated, node-red-dashboard. If you are just starting out, you might wish to move to it's replacement @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard aka dashboard-2

I don't know what HACS or a green are in this context, but usually the dashboard (version 1) is at whatever URL you see the editor at, with /ui tacked on after the 1880.

eg localhost:1880/ui or 192.168.1.33:1880/ui
