Low-code programming for event-driven applications
Node-RED is a flow based programming application for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. For more information see http://nodered.org
Install by running sudo snap install node-red
Then point your browser to http://{your-server-ip}:1880 .
If you are on the local machine then that can be http://localhost:1880
NOTE: this container runs in strict mode so does not have access to the wider system, or tools that may be needed to install some 3rd party nodes. If you want the full capabilities of Node-RED then we recommend the default system level install . See https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/local
