Made for i386 architecture based devices and compatibles
https://hub.docker.com/r/hilschernetiotedge/netfield-nodered
The image provided hereunder deploys a container with installed Debian, Node-RED and several useful common Node-RED nodes maintained by the community.
Base of the image builds debian with installed Internet of Things flow-based programming web-tool Node-RED.
Additionally the nodes node-red-contrib-opcua, node-red-dashboard, node-red-contrib-ibm-watson-iot, node-red-contrib-azure-iot-hub, node-red-contrib-modbus, node-red-contrib-influxdb, node-red-contrib-mssql-plus come preinstalled.
The container has been successfully tested on the following hosts
- netIOT OnPremise, product name NIOT-E-TIJCX-GB-RE
- netFIELD OnPremise, product name NIOT-E-TIJCX-GB-RE/NFLD
To store the Node-RED flow and settings files permanently on the Docker host they can be outsourced in a "separate" volume outside the container. This keeps the files on the system even if the container is removed. If later the volume is remapped to a new container the files are available again to it and reused.
The container needs to run in host network mode.
This mode makes port mapping unnecessary. The following TCP/UDP container ports are exposed to the host automatically
| Used port | Protocol | By application | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1880 | TCP | Node-RED |
Pulling the image may take 10 minutes.
STEP 1. Open device's web UI in your browser (https).
STEP 2. Click the Docker tile to open the Portainer.io Docker management user interface.
STEP 3. Click Volumes > + Add Volume. Enter nodered as Name and click Create the volume.
STEP 4. Enter the following parameters under Containers > + Add Container
| Parameter | Value | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Image | hilschernetiotedge/netfield-nodered | |
| Network > Network | host | |
| Restart policy | always | |
| Port mapping | host 1880 -> container 1880 | |
| Volumes > Volume mapping > map additional volume | volume /nodered -> container /root/.node-red | optional for flow persistence |
STEP 5. Press the button Actions > Start/Deploy container
docker volume create nodered &&
docker run -d --network=host --restart=always -p 1880:1880/tcp -v nodered:/root/.node-red hilschernetiotedge/netfield-nodered
A docker-compose.yml file could look like this
version: "2"
services:
nodered:
image: hilschernetiotedge/netfield-nodered
restart: always
network_mode: host
ports:
- 1880:1880
volumes:
- nodered:/root/.node-red
volumes:
nodered:
The container starts Node-RED and all involved services automatically when deployed.
The container configures Node-RED to support https secured web communications. So open it in your browser with https://<device-ip-address>:1880 e.g. https://192.168.0.1:1880.
The container configures Node-RED to ask for a login in case it runs on a device with admin web UI like netFIELD OnPremise. Use the same users/password as setup in the UI to login.
