On deploy I get:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/nodered'

I don't know how to deal with this as nodered directory already exists. thanks John

which user is NodeRED running with? it is recommended to use root to run it

mugginsjm commented 6 years ago

Hi Sorry but my linux knowledge is rubbish. I have installed NodeRed via Pete Scargill's script and don't know how to find this info.

torinnguyen commented 6 years ago

I'm sorry that is beyond my help. Different linux setup will have different configuration. How you have installed NodeRED in the first place will also make a different.

This worked for me when I run as the user that owns the node-red process. Ideally, the package would not try to make a directory at / level, but this works around it (again for me):

sudo mkdir /nodered
sudo chown ${USER} /nodered
