You want to make sure you don't lose any of your flow development. Make sure to map the host "flows" directory to the container directory as shown below. This will store the flow on your host machine if/when the container is destroyed.
docker run -it -p 1880:1880 -v ${PWD}/flows:/data --name dexi-node-red droneblocks/dexi-node-red:latest
-
Launch the container from the base node-red image
docker run -it -p 1880:1880 -v ${PWD}/flows:/data -v ${PWD}/node-red-dexi:/node-red-dexi --name dexi-node-red nodered/node-red:latest-minimal -
Connect to the container
docker exec -it dexi-node-red /bin/bash
- Install the nodes for local development since we already mapped the host folder node-red-dexi to the container folder /node-red-dexi
npm install /node-red-dexi
