Node-RED Container

An opinionated containerized version of Node-RED.

Installation Notes

Create your Node-RED configuration files locally and start the container:

$ docker run --name node-red \
  --network host \
  -v ${PWD}/config:/data \
  ghcr.io/muhlba91/node-red:<TAG>

The container images are tagged according to:

the Node-RED version and current release (ghcr.io/muhlba91/node-red:<RELEASE_TAG>)
the Git Commit SHA (ghcr.io/muhlba91/node-red:<GIT_COMMIT_SHA>)

The app-template by bjw-s is the recommended chart to use this container with.

For example, to mount a packages.txt file from a ConfigMap you can add the folloiwng block to your values.yaml file:

persistence:
  packages:
    enabled: true
    type: configMap
    name: node-red-packages-config
    globalMounts:
      - path: /init

Mount your Node-RED configuration files in /data when running the container.

Alternatively, you can mount a settings.js file in /init/settings.js which will be copied the /data upon starting up.

If you want to install additional packages on start-up, create a file packages.txt and mount it in /init/packages.txt:

package@version
