    OMG thank you so much for making and uploading this! I made a "home made" smart home sort of system with a Raspberry Pi 4 for my university diploma and was looking for a simpler way to make my app look more "commercial" and be much easier to use the UI/dashboard remotely!

    Want to make sure, does it allow access in different networks? For example, can I still view the dashboard using this app on wifi A if my raspberry pi that runs node red is connected to wifi B.

    • @RemoteRED
      @RemoteRED  2 года назад +2

      In general yes. The requirements are that the resbpi in Wifi B has internet access (with access to my servers, means that if there is a firewall it has to be opened to these ip adresses) and ssh available. The phone in Wifi A (or mobile connection) needs internet access to.

    First of all, thank you for the contribution! Just what I was looking for years ago with node-red, a plug & play solution to the server
    I have been doing tests, with a single node-red the APP works correctly, but when I add another different remote access in another totally different node red, the first one that I have added Remote-RED always opens. Although I enter the second, the first one always opens.
    Thanks for your help.

      Can you check the value in the config field "Base URL"? With a standard Node-RED config that value should be "/ui". Maybe you have to adjust that value. After changing it, remove the instance from the app and reconnect with a new QR code.

      @RemoteRED  2 года назад

      I´m working on a video for that. But in short: Inside the iOS shortcuts app create a new shortcut and select 'Remote-RED' from the apps section. Then select 'Run action'. Fill the field 'action' with a self created key (like 'LIGHT') and the field 'value' with the value to transfer (like 'ON'). Then select a Node-RED instance. When activating that shortcut, a message with that action and value will be send out through the output of the Remote-RED remote node.

    It works great but how secure is the remote connection?

    • @RemoteRED
      @RemoteRED  2 года назад

      I tried to make it as much secure as I can. The connection between your Node-RED and my servers is done by a SSH Tunnel. The connection from the apps to my server is secured by HTTPS using a client certificate. All API calls to my server are secured via certificate pinning.
      Additionally you can serve your dashboard as https, so your additional to the SSH/HTTPS encryption there will be another encryption layer. Also my apps support Node-RED authentication (basic auth), so you can add a username/passwort login.
      It's not designed for high security applications like I also wrote in the ToS. So it's not done for companies, it's done for SmartHome / private users, like I also wrote in the ToS. My personal view is that it's more than enough for controlling some lights or the music player at home, but it should not been used to control the water supply of a city or a power plant ;)

    • @RemoteRED
      @RemoteRED  3 года назад +1

      Yes, you can. The "/ui" is only the default, as the most Node-RED installations have their dashboard on "/ui". Some other implementations of Node-RED like Redmatic have "/addons/red/ui/".
      But you can't enter a page like "/index.html" here. You can only add a absolute path of the serving host here.
      When changing the serving host and base url you can serve a lot of other pages then the dashboard here, like NAS or Router Web UI´s.

    Nice app! I have been using it for å while, and have some questions:

    - How secure are the websites that are running the servers? Is it easy to break this system, and access dashboards all over the world?

    • @RemoteRED
      @RemoteRED  2 года назад +1

      Hi Rito,
      the passwords are remembered forever. They are stored only on the device, not on a webserver. My servers used to proxy the requests are as secure as I got this Debian based systems. Also if someone got ssh access to my servers, he can't access the dashboards directly. There are several other layers to understand and to go through.
      But it is a system done by me, one developer. Its not created by an big company with several security specialists. Because of this I also wrote some restrictions in the ToS, like no commercial use and the recommendation to do not publish systems with a very high security need.
