Upload files/certificates to edge devices

[Gunnar]

Hello Tulip Community,

We are using Node Red on our edge devices to establish optical connections. But with every update it generates new certificates and our server blocks them. So I would like to set static certificates:

How do I upload the files to the Edge device to use in Node Red?

Hi @Gunnar -

It looks like the nodes have an option for a filepath to the cert - it’s probably best if you upload the cert to the device and then just reference it. You can use the /data/node-red directory. There’s a few ways to upload, you can choose what you prefer:

• Use a file write node
• Use an “Exec” node to execute command line that could echo the cert contents to a file
• Download from an endpoint

Hopefully this helps!

Thank you Beth,

the file write nodes worked for me.
