I just started testing on a new fresh NetFILED On-premise gateway (NIOT-E-TIJCX-GB-RE/NFLD). but facing one issue not being able to run the node-red docker container, getting an error, please find attached the node-red docker log file.
Well the OnPremise device is of type x86 architecture. The container you want to load to this machine was made 5 years ago for Hilscher's netPI device which is of type ARM processor. An x86 device can't run ARM code so starting this container will fail for sure.
You can deploy and run a Node-RED basic container from the very official Node-RED Docker repository maintained by the Node-RED development team from here https://hub.docker.com/r/nodered/node-red

Thanks, I am able to install the node-red container with your help.
Now I want to activate netX for Profinet connectivity, I have followed the common steps for PNS but it's not got successfully. what are the steps next I have to follow?
devices of type netFIELD are handling process data such as fieldbus data totally differently than netIOT devices years before. I agree that a manually installed Node-RED can be used too on the devices of course, but in general with netFIELD devices data is transported across a central MQTT message broker and then distributed from there "to the world" .
This in turn has also the advantage that once data is known in the central MQTT message broker that it can be transmitted to multiple clients at a time or even better to Node-RED also which supports a MQTT client node by default. This gives the netFIELD devices more flexibility than we ever had with our "old" netIOT devices that rely on Node-RED only.
For a correct setup you need to onboard your device to a netFIELD Cloud account first. From there you deploy the container "mosquitto" as central MQTT message broker to your device from the list of available containers. Did you get managed this?
Thx

it is correct that customers have to subscribe to netFIELD Cloud services officially and to one of the three available billing schemes.
New will be by end of the 4'th quarter that we gonna be offering to customers the submission for a free 6 weeks trial account under www.netfield.io. Till then one can only apply for a regular account of type "essential" for a certain amount of time and we will be closing it manually. But I think an account for Hilscher subsidiaries will be for free.

I tried to log in on the netFIELD.IO portal but was not able to log in getting login issues, please find attached a screenshot. I have reset the password and login again but still the same issue.
We are now able to log on to the netFIELD.Io portal, but are not able to onboard the on-premise gateway, it is giving the below error. is this still server related issue? as attached screenshot.
Well, this is not how it works to onboard a netFIELD device manually. It does over the "Avanced Menu" only.
You have to read the onboarding chapter in the netFIELD devices manuals. It is the same procedure for all devices, so it doesn't matter which manual you use.
Thx
