Rpi docker node-red not working with node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket

Third party integrations Node-RED

Been struggling with this for over a month since my last rpi reinstall.
So I have a docker-compose stack:

  hass:
    hostname: hass
    container_name: hass
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: homeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistant
    ports:

    volumes:

    network_mode: host
    privileged: true
    environment:

      - PGID
      - TZ
    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:hass.${DOMAINNAME}"
      - "traefik.port=8123"
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://127.0.0.1:8123"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 6
  nodered-v8:
    user: root
    container_name: nodered-v8
    hostname: nodered-v8
    image: nodered/node-red-docker:rpi-v8
    ports:
      - 1888:1880
      - 9288:9229
    volumes:
      - ${USERDIR}/docker/nodered-v8:/data
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:

    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://127.0.0.1:1888"]
      interval: 30s

      - "traefik.backend=nodered-v8"
      - "traefik.port=1888"
      - "com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true"
    networks:
      - traefik_proxy

I’ve tried countless of docker images, tags, what not… Every time, when I install the node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket I get errors when installing:
ReferenceError: nodeVersion is not defined
And after restarting I see:

Please help

try version 0.13.1 with raymondmm/node-red container

3

From here:

rpi-v8 docker container using node.js 8.1.0 and this package needs at least 8.12. You need to upgrade node.js within the container.

See also this workaround.

4

any idea how to update it?
Trying npm i -g node and it asks for permissions. added user: root to the docker-compose. Same error.

5

I also had strange errors inside the container (which is from a very old image).
I ended up rebuilding my own nodered image from node:12-stretch and it seems to work… (maybe nodered isn’t intended to work with a recent node version, I’m new to it, guess I’ll find out sooner or later :slight_smile:
