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.

Have you tried clicking the link?

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`

On the dashboard 2.0 tab, I can edit settings.  
The edit ui-base node provides a name:[http://homeassistant.local:1880/endpoint/dashboard/page1](http://homeassistant.local:1880/endpoint/dashboard/page1). Not sure what this does.  
Clicking on the open dashboard button, i get a 404 error. The url is [http://homeassistant.local:8123/endpoint/dashboard](http://homeassistant.local:8123/endpoint/dashboard).

It would appear I need to create a url for the Dashboard 2.0? Where do I do this?  
Thanks for any help.

simply replaces the **8123** par **1880**

with [http://homeassistant.local](http://homeassistant.local): **1880** /endpoint/dashboard

This should work, it should end up with a URL like thisci:  
[http://homeassistant.local:1880/endpoint/dashboard/page1](http://homeassistant.local:1880/endpoint/dashboard/page1)

HI  
Thanks for your reply.  
I entered [http://homeassistant.local:1880/endpoint/dashboard/page1](http://homeassistant.local:1880/endpoint/dashboard/page1) into the url of my browser and the dashboard appeared. And my data set appeared. Great.

That url is now captured in the name of the Edit ui-base node.

Unfortunately when I click on the 'open dashboard' button, I get a 404 error and a web page which has [http://homeassistant.local:8123/endpoint/dashboard](http://homeassistant.local:8123/endpoint/dashboard). So, I need to know where to store the correct url so that when I click 'open dashboard' the dashboard will open.

Thanks again.

The 'open dashboard' button points to `/dashboard`.

As your editor is (I think) at `http://homeassistant.local:8123/endpoint` and the dashboard at `http://homeassistant.local:1880/endpoint/dashboard` it doesn't work.

I don't think you can easily change this button.

You have uncovered a bug but I'm not sure if it's in Homeassistant or Node-red 🤔

It might have an impact on password protecting the dashboard in settings.js too, if that applies to dashboard 2.

HI  
Great. For the time being, I can live using a url pointing to my dashboard2.  
Also have added a iframe to my HA dashboard which allows me to view the dashboard from Home Assistant. At least I am part way there.
