Hello  
I have installed nodered from the docker.  
I use podman.  
The container is set with the option restart=always.

When the container is started, it start the flow.  
But there are some errors generated by the flow (I use google-smarthome). when the dedicated nodes are not yet online.  
So, nodered stops.  
But if I restart the container after a while, there is no more error, and the flows run fine.  
So, my question would be 🙂 - Is there any real possibility to make nodered restart automatically in the case the flows are stopped by nodered?

I'm not familiar with that node, but it shouldn't really be stopping NR.

Can you share what errors you are getting ?
