Getting Node-RED 5 in FlowFuse Community Edition

Vendors FlowFuse
1

I've just started playing around with FlowFuse CE and I noticed that it is still running Node-RED 4.1.13. Is there some way to get 5.0.4? I tried the recommended upgrade instructions by downloading the latest docker compose yml file and then doing 'docker pull flowfuse/node-red:latest' but the version remained at 4.1.13.

there is an image tagged [latest-5.0.x]
There is a complete list here:

Thanks for that info.

Clearly I don't know what I'm doing. I did docker pull flowfuse/node-red:latest-5.0.x. Does that seem correct?

I got the following:

However I still have 4.1.13 when I create a new instance.

Obviously I'm missing something.

Under Admin Settings, I found 'Templates' which seems like the logical place to specify the Node-RED version I want, but I don't see any place to do that in that form.

In order to present different versions of node-red you need to set up the stack in admin settings: Administering FlowFuse • FlowFuse Docs

disclaimer : I have no experience with flowfuse, I only use node-red directly.

The image name/tag in the pull was the obvious thing.
Now you probably need to specify this tag in your configuration somewhere to actually use it.
Otherwise the default will be used.

Thank you! That was the trick.

Thank you for your help. That got me digging and then Steve posted about the Stack settings.
