Node-RED - unable to install nodes from palette

Hello,

on one new installation I have problem with Node-RED, because I am not able to install nodes from palette, for example node-red-dashboard. I have no problem on other installations (more than 20). Cerbo GX has the latest FW 03.11, but same situation I had with previous FW 03.10.

Here is screen with Event log and Debug console:

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

On face value it looks like it couldn't connect to the destination server. Internet/connectivity issue?

I am entering the Node-RED editor externally via VRM so there is no problem with connection between Cerbo and Internet. Cerbo GX is connected to the Internet over the same ISP as my connection and I don't have any problem and also I have no problem on more than 20 another installations...

On another forums regarding the Node-RED issues I read some problems with IPv6, but Cerbo GX is connected to home router via cable and uses IPv4 addressing...

Really, nobody did not face similar problem?

For me it is a big deal, because I have some important features uses Node-RED (like set min. SOC, set feed-in based on spot price in dashboard and protection against high voltages on Pylontech batteries,...) and on this installation I am not able to make it work...

@motylu

Had similar problems on my pi3b+, which was related to IPV6

Added these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf to disable ipv6 and everything has been working fine. It might be worth a try


net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1

Wish I could help, but rather I have a question. Can you tell me if CCL reported by the Pylontech batteries over the BUS.CAN is exposed in Node Red so that you have have logic that uses the charge current limit reported by the Pylontech batteries?

I had this problem a few weeks back. The only fix for me was to export a copy of my flows, disable nodered in the settings menu, then delete the /data/home/nodered directory. Re-enable nodered and import the flows. Then I was able to install pallettes again. I might have forgotten a step, it was a few weeks back.

Problem with installing new nodes was solved on this installation by connection the Cerbo GX via mobile phone data (connection to hotspot) temporarily.

Probably there was some problem with IPv6 implementation in one of used home routers, so I must connect Cerbo GX to Internet using another way, in this case mobile phone data...
