    restart: always
    ports:
     - "${NODERED_PORT:-1880}:1880"
    volumes:
     # - /home/nodered/.node-red                  # Default User Directory
     # - /home/nodered/.node-red/settings.js      # Default Settings file
     # - /data/flows.json                         # Default Flows file
