Node red not working with https

Following various posts about running Node-red as https, I've done the following:

Made the following changes in settings.js:

var fs = require("fs");

...

https: {
    key: fs.readFileSync('privkey.pem'),
    cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem')
},

...

requireHttps: true

Created privkey.pem and cert.pem.

Verified files exist in ~/node-red (Raspberry Pi).

Node.js version v8.9.4 Node-RED version v0.17.5

When I do https://raspberrypi:1880 I get "The site cannot be reached" but http://raspberrypi:1880 still works. I even tried rebooting the Pi.

Solution

  • This was a simple operator error. I had two dirs. One .node-red and one node-red (FYI: Only install node-red using one way and not several [duh]).

    When node-red was loading I miss read the working directory and modified the wrong settings.js
