I have a fresh docker install, and have just installed the tradfri nodes. All appear in the palette apart from the config node which has a dotted line in the palette manager.  
Node and Nodejs are running 14.18.2, npm version 6.14.15.

Any ideas? I'm new to docker.

Welcome to the forum @monkeytrumpet

Do you have to use Docker? If not then I advise against it, it just complicated matters.

Hi,  
I guess not, i'm just trying to keep everything as organised as possible!

Config nodes do not appear in the Palette, they are created while configuring a node that uses them.
