@drmibell :You can very easily install an old docker image, for a specific version of Node-RED/NodeJs. Then you are up and running in no time... However the first time that I had to that, I have spend quite some time (see here) to get my server side debugging up and running. But I quitted using Docker, because every thing I wanted to do worked differently in Docker. So do to a lack of time I quitted using Docker, although imho it would have been much better for my node developments...
Sounds very good. Unfortunately I quitted using VScode after a series of troubles to get it up and running. But this would also have been much better for my node developments.
Like I said before: I am not a software company that has lots of time and resources...
