Hello, today i try the alternate-node-red-installer by TotallyInformation. My goal at the end is, to have different instances with the same version of node-red. aner later use nginx to manage it all Unfortnely i cant get it run. I (tried) to follow this guide https://github.com/TotallyInformation/…

If all the node red instances use the same version of node red then you don't need the alternate installer. You can start node red using command line parameters to tell it where to get its flows and settings file and what port to use. Not at my computer so can't confirm exactly what, but probably t…

The normal NR installer creates one instance in a .node-red folder The alternate installer lets you create extra instances - all of them separate from each other and not sharing things like settings or version numbers So, I don't think alternate installer is what your looking for - Colin's advice…

What @cymplecy and @Colin state are correct, you can create multiple instances simply by providing the correct command line options. There are even threads on the forum detailing how you can do this. An alternative to consider is using a tool that does it all for you from a web based frontend. The…

[image] Manuel_o: So i can use bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered ) to create node red as my main instance. Not quite. This installs the core of node-red. You dont have any instances until you start node-red. [im…

Ignore me - follow @Steve-Mcl advice - too many cooks spoil the broth :slight_smile:

thanks again to all for the help. I try to sum-up what did, maybe this will help another one: What i ve done now. I used bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered ) to install/create the core version of node-red. Now i have a "…

[image] Manuel_o: node-red -p 1880 -u /root/.node-red Why are you using root? What platform are you running on? (Pi?, Windows? Mac?)
