I'm using red-node with Docker, but in situations where there is a wrong configuration when deploying, docker enters a loop restarting.

Is there a way in case of an error to stop the flow?

Can you show us an example of what you mean? I don't see how Docker can get into a loop since Docker is just the container.

You can pass in an environment variable at startup to start in safe mode which won't deploy the flow - so you should then be able to edit it and fix whatever is broken. see startup section [Running under Docker : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/docker#credentials-secrets-and-environment-variables)
