Hi,

Can anyone please guide me about the following:

I have my node red project in which i had made some customization in flow.json,settings.js and deploy.js files.  
Now i want to install this project to docker with my customization.  
I am new to Docker as well that's why i followed below link :

> **[node-red/node-red-docker](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-docker/tree/master/docker-custom)**
>
> Repository for all things Node-RED and Docker related - node-red/node-red-docker

  
Can u please guide me that how can i replace the existing flow.json ,setting.js and deploy.js with my customize files.

Thanks

You should mount your files to an external data volume - see [https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/docker](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/docker) - section "Using a Host Directory for Persistence (Bind Mount)" when starting docker - this is used as the user directory.
