Hi, I'm looking for suggestions on how to deploy a working project to a new system.
I guess I'm looking for the fastest way to create an installation.
But I would like that installation to include some additional things, besides Node-Red.
For example let's say I have a working project running on a raspberry pi including Node-Red with a few flows, a dashboard or uibuilder, nginx and a bunch of other stuff.
I started looking at Docker, which seems like a good solution, but in this case how would I approach creating a container?
Do I create it from scratch or base it on working containers?
And how do I make sure it runs on different architectures ( both newer and older raspberry pi models)?
Docker containers (by design) will almost certainly work regardless of platform/os/hardware.
As for building them (docker images), this is likely NOT the place to ask (the docker forums and stack overflow are more likely a better source of info on this subject)
For deploying, regardless of OS/environment, it's always the same. Either deploy via node-red or drop the flow.json into the working directly. IMO, you wouldn't normally deploy a flow with the docker image anyway (black box situation perhaps). Ps, there is another way to deploy (the API)
