Node-red automation

This repository contains a working configuration of node-red that can be deployed on Platform.sh and used for workflow automation. It is configured with:

• A publicly available /files path to serve node-red processed files publicly e.g. output > files/{filename}.pdf on node-red
• The flow editor is served from the /admin path so that a static site can be served from /

Add new nodes

You can add new nodes to node-red by installing them with npm locally and committing the changes. You can also install them in place using Source Operations with this command:

platform source-operation:run install-node --variable env:NR_NODE={npm package name}

Updates

Node-red is updated automatically during every build. You can update node-red in place using our Source Operations feature with this Platform.sh CLI command:

platform source-operation:run update-nodered

Revert to the last commit

You can revert to the last commit if your node install or update is not successful with this Platform.sh CLI command:

platform source-operation:run revert-commit

Security

Your node-red application can be secured by HTTP basic authentication using this Platform.sh CLI command: platform environment:http-access --auth nodered:nodered
