I'm getting the following error in the nodered logs: ´´´ /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-red/node_modules/@node-red/runtime/lib/flows/Flow.js:797 if (sendEvent?.destination?.node) { ^

It is because of a newer node-red version. I fixed it by going back to an older version:

sudo apt-get -y install npm sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red@2.2.2

Run it before calling the zero-touch installer!

[Baldag]

That got me past that issue. Now I get:

ERROR: Ansible requires Jinja2 3.0 or newer on the controller. Current version: 2.11.2

But when I upgrade to 3+ too be able too run ansible I get:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
freetakserver 2.0.69 requires Jinja2==2.11.2, but you have jinja2 3.1.2 which is incompatible.```

I got past the above issue by installation everything and not just --core.

But when I try too start fts.service I get the foolowing error:
