Exposing additional port from add-on

pkdotnet · March 17, 2023, 11:03pm

Hello all,

First of all, I can’t believe I never looked at Home Assistant as I was building my first home automation solution. I’ve been running Home Assistant now for the last 2 years and it has been nothing short of amazing. Light years ahead of my previous paid HA solution.

I am using Home Assistant OS for my install, running on a Raspberry Pi 4. I am running the Node Red add-on.

I recently added a new node to Node Red, tts-ultimate. This node exposes a few additional ports, namely 1400 and 1980. How can I specify in the add-on config to expose these additional ports? The add-on config lets me specify the port for the web interface, but I cannot locate anywhere that I can add an additional port.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks -

The Node red addon is configured for host networking, meaning all the ports should be open from it to the host machine. It’s mentioned here:

node-red-contrib-ccu needs additional port forwardings

# Problem/Motivation >For the ccu-connection node in node-red-contrib-ccu you… need to open two ports for the ccu to connect. Its not possible in the ha-addon configuration to open additional ports. ## Proposed changes - Add option to forward ports for ccu-connection node In config.yaml I added: ``` ports: 80/tcp: 1880 2052/tcp: 2052 2053/tcp: 2053 ports_description: 80/tcp: Web interface 2052/tcp: BINRPC interface 2053/tcp: XMLRPC interface ``` ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5374645/183599230-6505b578-1b2d-4944-9e96-88322b9a525a.png) - Make forwarding additional ports configurable

Thanks Tim. Right now, the tts-ultimate node reports ECONNREFUSED::1:1400.

I’ll continue troubleshooting. Appreciate the information!

Well, shoot. It’s working. Thanks again!
