I know there are folk here who use Node-Red so hoping someone can help.
This might seem daft, but I installed Node-Red ages ago, possibly before there was a rasbian package and now I can’t find it, or to be more precise cannot find the service listed.
I know it is running as I can connect to the web interface (and it is working) but a systemctl status nodered tells me it is dead and a service --status-all does not list it. There is nothing in the init.d directory that might start it.
From the web interface it says it is version 0.15.1 and this matches the info from aptitude show nodered
I have a feeling that at some time I played with node-red-pi but don’t know what I did with it.
if you see node-red via the website then it sounds like you are good to go - http://Your_IP_address:1880/#
For me there is no node-red in service --status-all. But all is ok with systemctl status nodered

EDIT: if you want to know exactly where Node-RED is type whereis node-red
Hi @Jon, thanks for that. Yes I know where it is, and can use it, but can’t find out what is causing it to run or even anything except ps or htop to show it is running.
