I found problem that Node-Red add-on couldn’t update or install new node. It runs for a while and then stops. And nothing is installed. Tried rebooting add-on and hassio. Tried also rebuilding and reinstalling Node-Red.
DNS name resolution seems to work fine. I can ping all sites without problem. System time is correct.
Error I get is:

Updated to lastest hassio but it didn’t resolve this. What could be wrong? What info I can provide to investigate this further?
Thanks for guide. I really needed it and now I have learn more.
Ok, you were right. It’s DNS issue. But for some reason Hass.io didn’tchange DNS server even if I change server ip to SD card setup file.
I had to go thru lots of steps to learn get it to change ip config. With command nmcli connection show it gave me multiple connections and active connection didn’t have latest settings (it had pi-hole ip which is same as hassio ip). I then deleted rest and gave it nmcli connection up resin-newconnectionname. And still had to go thru many trial and error steps.
I had DNS server setup to Pi-Hole. Now it’s google dns and I could install node-red-contrib-home-assistant. But I cannot get it to connect to Hassio. I have Hassio setup up with SSL connection with Let’s encrypt and DuckDNS. I have tried with ip and with dns name, like https://192.168.1.100:8123 and https://myserver.duckdns.org:8123 but it doesn’t connect. Just error "Connection error occured with the home-assistant server: {"type":"error"}". I know that my router doesn’t support loopback.
Do I have to do hosts file modification inside Node-Red container? I have read that many other users have this same problem. Maybe you could find a fix for it?
Thanks for your support! That single address solved almost all of of my Node-red problems. I have seen that somewhere in developer material but didn’t occur to me that it can be used like this.
I made suggestions to add that your addon documentation and also to Node-RED Home Assistant documentation.
Now that we are talking, do you have idea why node-red-node-msgpack and node-red-node-rbe notifies that they have updates but atleast I cannot update them?
Failed to update: node-red-node-rbe
Module not locally installed
Check the log for more information
You aren’t giving us much info. Are you running Hass.io? Try enter http://hassio/homeassistant to Node-Red as hass.io server address. That fixed it for me.
I’m having the same problem as fernandex00. I have HASSIO and installed NodeRed from the repository. Added the home assistant nodes and they show up fine, but I can’t configure any of the nodes with my server info (http://my-ip:8123 + my api pw, I also tried http, https, fqdn for kicks, same result). When I remove the nodes and delete the server, the error continues to be logged over and over (debug window as well as the hassio log).
“Home assistant connection failed with error: Connection to home assistant could not be established with config: http://my-ip:8123 ”
Drogfild, that address worked for me. Thank you! Should we make a recommendation to update the wiki/docs pages?
One small note: I had to stop/start NodeRed via the HASSIO page in order to get rid of the repeated connection errors…even though I had purged my flows and the config of all home assistant entries, something was stuck in memory and the connection error was constantly logging. A quick stop/start resolved that for me.
Arghh, im starting to get this error now too "Home assistant connection failed with error: Connection to home assistant could not be established with config: "
Hi all, sorry to hear that it didn’t work out for everyone. That’s good advice from forrestjr that you should restart Node-Red add-on after modifying settings. Just to make sure it’s effecting.
