No configuration created for fresh install of Node-RED
See original GitHub issueProblem/Motivation
I have done a fresh install of Node-RED through the add-on store, however no configuration was created and there were no prompts to create any credentials.
As a result, I see 502: Bad Gateway when attempting to access the web ui.
Where should this configuration file exist?
Expected behavior
I think:
- Install add-on
- Receive prompt for credentials
- OR: have a configuration directory and file be written some place
Actual behavior
- No prompt, no configuration files written
- WebUI returns a 502
I see this in the logs (crashlooping):
