I've deployed a Node-RED Docker stack and can't work out how to access the node-red admin hash-pw command. I'm trying to hash a password to put into the settings.json so I can host my deployment for remote access. In the securing Node-RED page, it says to hash your password using the command: node…

Hi @MaxVRAM good question - the docker container doesn't put the node-red command on its path. But you can do this: docker exec -it node-red npx node-red admin hash-pw npx is a command provided by npm that can be used to run any npm-installed executable in the local directory.

This might help https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/docker

Thanks for the link Bakman. I'm familiar with that page, it's the one I used as a reference to deploy the Docker container. Just to clarify, I have the Node-RED Docker running and I can visit the interface in my browser no problems. I'm referring to the guide on using the node-red admin commands.…

I should have clarified the bash part docker exec -it node-red /bin/bash

Anyone with the Docker installation able to help here? How do I access the node-red admin commands?

That solves my problem and was an excellent response. Thank you @knolleary ! edit: I've raise an issue on the Node-RED Docker GitHub Repo to add your solution to the documentation.

Would be even better if you raised a pull request :wink:

@dceejay noted and requested :wink:

excellent. thanks, commented on.
