how to access the node red static directory

on Ubuntu would you know where the node red static directory would be located?

There's a YouTube video where I can append CSV files and serve them through the node red static directory and retrieve the CSV data through the browser but I am having a difficult time trying to find where the static directory exists.

I can access the node red settings.js no problem here

ben@ben-HP-ProBook-6550b:~/.node-red$

When I can nano settings.js I did uncomment out:

httpStatic: '/home/nol/node-red-static/'

enter image description here

But the only thing that exists in /home is:

ben@ben-HP-ProBook-6550b:/home$ ls
ben

No nol directory, any ideas to try?

Solution

  • The /home/nol/node-red-static setting is only intended to be an example path. You need to provide the full path to whatever directory you want to use for your static files.
