Enabling https requires the acl package for setfacl

The acl package should probably be added to the dependencies and to the disk images

Thanks for your comment. Is there a good reference you can point me to? Is this to setup node-red as an https server?

Yes, I was trying to set up node-red over https as I wanted to secure a tiltpi install so I might use it from outside my firewall. The error message was quite confusing and since I'd diagnosed it I thought it might be usefully done in the next release.

Ideally the disk image would have https enabled by default but I should mention that I had more problems than this issue and did not get it working. I'll revisit at some point.

The disk image's /home/pi/.node-red/settings.js file is where the config gets done and you also need a self signed key (or perhaps letsencrypt might be better).
