Installing openflow and nodered in macOS silicon

hey , I tried to install the openflow and node red through the GitHub repo for my macOS silicon chip , I tried to follow your instructions and everything through the repo and the documentation you have provided but still when I open browser with url localhost.openiap.io , it says bad gateway or can’t be reached . can you please solve my issue asap ? thank you for your consideration.

is the api node and traefik node running ?
are the any errors in the console of those ?
The first time you run normal-up, the “mongosetup” needs to run twice before the api will start, so you can just run normal-up again.

I cloned the GitHub repo , completed ./normal-up.sh and pulled the images and installed the containers , and there was error : mo-api-1
8d235d992984 mongo “docker-entrypoint.s…” 15 seconds ago Exited (1) 14 seconds ago . So as you said I did normal-up again but still the same issue . Still says bad gateway for the url and output for (docker logs demo-mongosetup-1) is (MongoNetworkError: connect ECONNREFUSED 172.18.0.4:27017) . only the container I have provided above is excited other containers are up .

mongosetup will always exit after a few seconds, and it only needs to run once, to setup the replicate set, so once everything is working normally, you can comment out that part.

But if mongosetup cannot connect to mongodb, then the api most likely cannot either, so you need to figure out, why that is not working
Do you have mongodb installed natively on your machine ?

no , mongoldb is not installed natively .

and I also tried the troubleshoot tips provided in documentation , replacing the volumes of traefik and api , and re run the normal-up , but still the containers are like I have provided in above SS, and the browser says 404 for the urls .

ok so managed to reach to this page . but I can’t see nodered as per yours and Anders Jensen’s video in YouTube . can you help me out on that ?

go to agents and create an agent that uses the nodered image

thank you for your consideration and help . I will reach up to you if any issue occurred .

I have one question , since I am working in macOS , I have installed virtual machine where I have openrpa in my windows inside my virtual machine . and I installed the openflow and node red through docker in my macOS environment . so will I be able to use openrpa in windows and use openflow and node red for that workflow through my macOS ? is it possible to work like that ? like openrpa in my virtual machine’s windows and openflow and node red in my macOS. can you guide me how will I integrate it ?

I don’t know, and I have no way of testing it.
But my gut feeling is telling me, no that would not work, you would need to configure traefik with something else than “localhost.openiap.io” that both you local machine and the windows machine can resolve AND access over a bridged network

when is the version of openrpa for macOS coming ?

We are currently testing different platforms and frameworks for the next version of OpenRPA. We don’t have a release date yet, but personally I’m hoping we can start showing off different concepts doing community meetings in q3 this year

hello , I am currently working on automating sap business one and automating fact . can you suggest me some of necessary things to keep on my mind for seamless automations , like any plugins or how can I make this automation more effective ?

When you run OpenRPA.msi, make sure to install the optional component for SAP. Under recorder settings → SAP, make sure “Record with Get Element” is disabled as it’s not feature complete. Make sure you have the 32-bit version of SAP GUI installed; 64-bit is not supported by OpenRPA yet.

Run openrpa.msi again, click “change”, then scroll down to SAP and select to install it
