Can we add our own private nodes in addition to the search section provided by node-red in the pallet loading section?

Developing Nodes
1

Hello to everyone,
I just wanted to ask if it could be. Can we add our own private nodes in addition to the search section provided by node-red in the pallet loading section? Not everyone should see the nodes here, only company employees should see them. Or do you have a better idea that you know of?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. You can host your own catalogue of private nodes. Here is one approach GitHub - hardillb/node-red-private-catalogue-builder: node-red-private-catalogue-builder. Also see this thread Creation of Catalog

thank you for your attention Mr. Dceejay.

Setting up a stand-alone catalog service is one way to go -- or you could just create a flow in node-red!

Here is one that I used to just filter out the nodes I wanted users to install from the original catalog list:
