on your odroid

1. 

`sudo -s` (be careful now, since you are acting as root)

1. 

`cd /var/lib/docker/volumes/nodered_node-red-data/_data`

1. 

What is the output of `ls`?

Why not just use the node-red editor \> manage palette \> install the node.  
It will install it at the proper place.

Well. I assumed, Dylantje did so and provided log is from nodered's editor? Good point @bakman2

Add:

to the environment section and restart the container. then try to reinstall using via the browser.

Restart your container and try to install node-red-contrib-tasmota from nodered's editor via palette manager.

</div>

Use it like this:

```auto
services:
   node-red:
    image: nodered/node-red:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
      - PGID=1000
      - PUID=1000
    ports:
      - "1880:1880"
    networks:
      - node-red-net
    volumes:
      - node-red-data:/data
      #- ./config:/nodered/config
      #- ./data:/nodered/data
      #- ./log:/nodered/log
      #- ./data:/data

volumes:
    node-red-data:

networks:
  node-red-net:

```

Then again I am not a fan of using volumes like this, I would use a bind mount instead (ie. the parts that are commented out: `#- ./data:/data`), or better yet, not use docker for node-red.

The problem is, that your container runs with user "node-red" with id "1000:1000" anyway. And as such it cannot access "/data/package-lock.json" because it is owned by root

Stop the container.

Go back to /var/lib/docker/volumes/nodered\_node-red-data/\_data as root

and `chown 1000:1000 package-lock.json`

I do not think PGID and PUID are needed in this particular case, since standard nodered container are applied with it anyway.

The problems you were facing were that an older instance of nodered, which created persistent data on node-red volume, left files from user `root` on it. With this neither tasmota nor current nodered could operate anymore. It should be fine now.
