Node-Red in Docker gives error

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Today I have spent my day installing Hass.io on an Intel NUC with the help of Docker. Everything went fine (only a big struggle with my Z-wave stick), and my first nodes are running again. I was a former Domoticz user but decided to move to Home Assistant.

Because I am not really into coding I decided to install Node-Red inside Hass.io. I have got it running in a docker (no errors there) and I can start it inside Hass.io

The problem is that I got this message when I tried to build something in the editor. Cannot find what I have done wrong.

Hopefully somebody can help me with this.

Have you pressed the red deploy button right top after setting up the server (homeassistant) in nodered?

Yes I did, the button is ‘grey’ now. I can choose ‘restart flow’ which gives a successful answer.
I put an event on the board and below it it says ‘conected’. When I click on it I get the same message again…

If you are using hass.io, then you can use the addon for nodered. Is that what you have done? It seems that node-red can’t “talk” to HA.

In NR you have to have this server node where you describe how the two tools will connect.

This is, in node-red, where to configure the link between NR and HA. If you don’t use the add-on, you will have to unselect the “I use the Home…” and configure manually the access token and base url.

In a nutshell, if you use hassio, go for the addon !

I am unsing the add-on and it runs but i still get these error messages. Where can I find edit server node? Cannot find it in the add-on?

Sorry, found it, settings are same as yours only ‘Home Assistant’ where you have ‘hassio’

But does not change anything.

So, go in the node-red addon configuration in hassio. Click restart and look at the debug. It should tell you things…

It stops here ?
Normally you should have extra lines such as:

Can you uninstall NR, restart hassio, and reinstall NR. Maybe, something went wrong during the first install…

Can you also copy your node-red config here (remove the secret…)?

I have Node-red running for around a year… never issues. It was the latest update that broke things and I have updated successfully many times before.

Uninstall NR also means to loose all flows etc… Since I only automate via NR that’s not an option…

Sorry, I thought I was responding to this:
