Setting up node-red on Ubuntu 22.04. Cant get https and stuck on port 1880

Hi @thorofasgard,

You need to configure Reverse Proxy in your nginx conf for your domain. Basically, go to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/yourdomainname.conf. Once inside, you 'll need to configure.

For port 80 it will look something like:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain www.your_domain;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:1880;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

Hello @thorofasgard

You need to create an Nginx virtual host for the domain name in order to use it instead of the droplet IP address.

We do have an old tutorial for an older Ubuntu version which you can check here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-connect-your-internet-of-things-with-node-red-on-ubuntu-16-04

You can check Step 4 — Setting Up Nginx and examine the configuration.

I did install it follow the instructions from 16-04 but it didnt work after I closed the port and and yes I did have the config file as below.

They only way it works for me if I leave the //uiHost: “127.0.0.1”, commented out and port 1880 open.

Cant get it to run on https either

Am I allowed to post the links here?
