Problem with start Node-RED on HA

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I have a problem with starting the Node-RED installation (19.0.2) on HAOS (15, same symptoms on 14.2). HAOS is freshly installed on the RPi 5. There are no other add-ons. The only Zigbee ZHA devices connected are via Sonoff USB Dongle Plus. The installation of HAOS is done on a MicroSD card. HA is available and works without problems, but after installing Node-RED with configuration:

theme: default
http_node:
username: ""
password: ""
http_static:
username: ""
password: ""
ssl: true
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
system_packages: []
npm_packages: []
init_commands: []
credential_secret: Haslo

the add-on does not start.

The screen remains blank, in the Node-RED logs there is only the entry “Loading log…”. There are no entries in the system logs.

I have already made many attempts to install and start. In one case, the add-on started and worked, but after a few hours the same problem appeared - a blank Node-RED screen.

A similar problem (blank screen) is with “Advanced SSH & Web Terminal”.

My additional problem is that I have never dealt with any version of Linux. It seemed to me that the ready-made HA OS would work correctly. And in fact, HAOS itself works. But why can’t I install the add-ons?

The hints on the Internet suggested changing HAOS from version 15 to 14.2, but the errors remained.

Have you tried setting SSL to ‘off’?

Also a full system reboot…

Ups. In this message I have placed an error in the code. I am doing all the tests with SSL disabled. And I did all the possible reboots

I have the same issue with a previously working setup. Getting following errors:

@taf you can also try to view the logs by going to settings in HA. System → logs → top right corner dropdown and select nodered.

@jedi_nabucasa Have you edited the setting.js file?

Have y’all tried starting NR with safe mode on?
