Hello,

I 've a issue with “node red”.
I installed “node red” on VF61.
It can be started via PuTTY.

Entering : “node-red” starts the application
and it works.

Now I want it get startet with booting.
I created a file “node-red.service” with the content:

[Unit]
Description=node-red Service
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node-red

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I copied it to “/etc/systemd/System”

Then I called :

"systemctl --system daemon-reload"
"systemctl enable node-red.service

"

and
“reboot”

followed by:

"systemctl status node-red.service"

and that is shown on screen:

[[0;1;31m●[[0m node-red.service - node-red service
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/node-red.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Hi @Hermann

Could you provide the version of the hardware and software of your module?
How did you install node-red?

Please share the complete dmesg log in a file?

Thanks and best regards,
Jaski
