Node-Red running on Venux GX is not loading in browser, and restarting several times a day

As per the question title, I have Node-Red running on a Venus GX, it has been running just fine for over a year, I've been gradually adding functionality and it looks like something might have been messed up.


The flow is still running, I can see the results of the flow broadcast to my MQTT broker and logged on my dashboard - however I cannot open up the Node-Red flow in my browser. I've tried locally (http://192.168.86.XX:1880/) and via the VRM with the same result (perpetual loading, or sometimes the following stage: (even after left for >20 mins)screenshot-2022-12-27-at-161916.png


I've tried stopping and starting the Node-Red instance via the Remote Console, it successfully stops and starts it but doesn't help me access it.


Are there any solutions to fix? Ideally to access the stopped flow to make modifications to allow debugging. One thing I want to try is dramatically reduce the load in the flow by reducing message frequency, some of which are occuring far more frequently than needed.

Hi @Homestorage_77

Access to Node-Red has been changed recently to https, the secure version of http.

In the same document see also the Q&A section for 'How does safe mode work and what is it?'

Starting Node-RED in safe mode will not start the flow(s) and allows to edit them while in that mode.
