Nodered stack error

Ask a Question!

Hi,

I installed portainer on a fresh raspberrypi-4 with OS-bullseye. Everything went well. With the information on https://portainer-templates.as93.net i installed a couple of containers. All are running.
I tried to setup Node-red and followed the steps on https://portainer-templates.as93.net/nodered. Steps 4 "Head to Home → App Templates", and the list of apps will show up. Step 5 "Select the app you wish to deploy, fill in any config options, and hit Deploy" is a little more difficult. You have to "Copy as Custom", so i did.
I gave the template a title and description, choose "web-editor" and did not change anything to the docker compose file and pushed the button "create custom template". I pushed the button "deploy the stack". After a while "nodered"appeared in the stacks list, but was not running.

node:internal/fs/utils:347 the log file: throw err; ^ Error: EACCES: permission denied, copyfile '/usr/src/node-red/node_modules/node-red/settings.js' -> '/data/settings.js' at Object.copyFileSync (node:fs:2847:3) at copyFile (/usr/src/node-red/node_modules/fs-extra/lib/copy/copy-sync.js:73:6) at onFile (/usr/src/node-red/node_modules/fs-extra/lib/copy/copy-sync.js:59:25) at getStats (/usr/src/node-red/node_modules/fs-extra/lib/copy/copy-sync.js:51:44) at handleFilterAndCopy (/usr/src/node-red/node_modules/fs-extra/lib/copy/copy-sync.js:36:10) at Object.copySync (/usr/src/node-red/node_modules/fs-extra/lib/copy/copy-sync.js:29:10) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/src/node-red/node_modules/node-red/red.js:129:20) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1198:14) at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1252:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1076:32) { errno: -13, syscall: 'copyfile', code: 'EACCES', path: '/usr/src/node-red/node_modules/node-red/settings.js', dest: '/data/settings.js' }
I think i followed all steps, but.....
Can anyone help to solved this problem?
Thanks

You are using a third party template file. It seems to be using the yaml below which requires a specific folder structure to exist on the host. /portainer/Files/AppData/Config/nodered

version: "3.7"

services:
  node-red:
    image: nodered/node-red:latest
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Athens
    ports:
      - "1880:1880"
    networks:
      - node-red-net
    volumes:
      - /portainer/Files/AppData/Config/nodered:/data
networks:
  node-red-net:

I've changed the stack using the Editor in Portainer to the below and it works

version: "3.7"

services:
 node-red:
   image: nodered/node-red:latest
   environment:
     - TZ=Europe/Athens
   ports:
     - "1880:1880"
   networks:
     - node-red-net
   volumes:
     - node-red-data:/data

volumes:
 node-red-data:

networks:
 node-red-net:

you could also fix the issue by doing chown 1000 /portainer/Files/AppData/Config/nodered on your docker host
