EPIC with a public-facing page?

Saw this forum post and was wondering if anyone here has achieved something similar, i.e. use the EPIC data and host a public-facing web page? I see this was discussed aboutg 7 years ago.

Before I take a deep dive into this… A few questions…

  1. groov View or Node-RED?
  2. Public? Really? Joe Public will have a user/pass to log into the EPIC and look at data?
  3. Do you mean via VPN?

Don’t dive in! Let someone on the Node-RED forum answer and see what transpires.

I was thinking groov View as a publicly-facing page. Pretty crazy when I say it out loud.

Oh, Node-RED forum already has the answer… You just needed to dig a little…

And there you have your answer @grant1
FlowFuse use the same tech-stack so they will have the same issues once the volume of ‘customers’ hits the pain threshold that my public site hit.
A lot of people (our customers as well) have public-facing Node-RED sites; they just don’t have many concurrent sessions, and they user/pass protect their dashboards (and they don’t use many trend gadgets or have fully responsive pages).

Thanks @Beno Very helpful to know what limits one might hit with a public-facing Node-RED dashboard.
