HTTPS about node-red-docker HOT 7 CLOSED

@LCMilstein Please ask questions on the Node-RED forum or in the Node-RED Slack (both linked to on the bottom of the Node-RED home page) or on Stack Overflow with a suitable tag. We only use issues for tracking actual defects in the code.

When you open post on one of those locations please include the error messages from the container when it crashes so we can see why it is failing.

HTTPS can be enabled using configuration from the settings.js file used in the container. See the https configuration value.

Authentication can also be enabled using the same approach. See this guide for more details.

@jthomas I trying to get the Node-red password to work on my docker container in Synology, but it doesn't work for me. Not sure what I missing, I have some previous experiences setting node-red password on rpi and ubunto and always worked ok for me..
I followed the guide in your previous post, but it seems node-red on docker is not reading that settings.js file .. update.. while I was writing this note, i tried another way.. and it worked fine, I had to get into the container and edit settings.js, What I did before is edit the setting file that is mounted outside of the container... but that way seems the changes made are not reflected back to the NR container.. not sure if am right .. a clarification for a rookie will be welcome.
thanks

@luisgcu are you mounting a volume on synology within advanced settings? and to the correct path?

Node-RED 1.0.0 is now available on docker hub - https://hub.docker.com/r/nodered/node-red.

Hopefully the latest README covers how to set the settings file and his can be closed. Please re-open if not.

There are a few changes to the new release, please read the README for further details.

I know this is several years old, but I can't find a more recent relevant thread...

• I have the same setup... Node-Red running in Docker on Synology NAS. I have found the proper settings.js file and I understand how to edit it.
• I am not clear, however, how to point the settings at the proper certificates.
• I attempted to follow the guide here: http://stevesnoderedguide.com/securing-node-red-ssl and it seems to work in that the files get created (node-cert.pem, node-csr.pem, and node-key.pem)
• I then edited the settings.js to uncomment the first option for https and the require https lines...

However, when I restart the container, it crashes and restarts in a loop. If I re-comment the lines, it all works fine on http. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong with the certs, either putting them in the wrong place or missing a step or something, but I can't figure it out. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
