> *This package allows you to install Node-RED quickly and simply on a YunoHost server.
If you don't have YunoHost, please consult [the guide](https://yunohost.org/#/install) to learn how to install it.*

## Overview

Node-RED is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.

It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be deployed to its runtime in a single-click.

### Features

- Browser-based flow editing
- On-click deployment of the flows
- Over 225,000 modules available
- Custom JavaScript functions can be written

### Override the default settings

From the installation directory, go edit the `data/settings.user.js`. For example:

```js
module.exports = (defaultSettings) => ({
    lang: "de", // define the language as "de"
    exportGlobalContextKeys: true, // override the `exportGlobalContextKeys` value
logging: { // replace the default logging option ...defaultSettings.logging, // this will reinject the default settings in logging
        console: {
            ...defaultSettings.logging.level, // this will reinject the default settings in logging.console
            level: "debug", // but here, we override the "info" level by "debug"
        },
    },
});
```

You can check the default settings Yunohost generates at `data/settings.js` and find the documentation for configuring Node-RED here: https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/configuration


**Shipped version:** 2.1.5~ynh1

## Disclaimers / important information

YunoHost's permissions system allows you to select which users can have access to Node-RED:
* `main` permission protects `/admin`, the flows editor. The administrator is chosen during installation ;
* `ui` permission protects `/ui`, the dashboard allowing visual interface for the flows. Public access is chosen during installation ;
* `endpoints` permission protects `/`, for API-like endpoints. Public access is chosen during installation.

If you have upgraded Node-RED beyond v2, check that these permissions suit you in your YunoHost admin panel.
