Dear all,

I^m looking for a freelancer that would help me to migrate certain nodes from an existing node-red instance to another and make it available under the new node-red server and combine this with homeassistant.

All nodes are present, but I need help with the migration due to the fact that there are errors occuring during the copy process.

Paid time limited job. Thanks for your answers, F

Why not provide some more details about your system, what errors are occuring, and what problems you are struggling with.

The forum community is very knowledgeable, and will help wherever they can - if you want to reach out.

There aren't that many Home Assistant users here, but you never know :slightly_smiling_face:

Long time ha/nr user here. Seeing that you have existing flows and I am assuming you are trying to move them to the HA node red addon, you are going to have a lot of difficulty.

HA has a custom OS with it's own version of docker. The addon and the stand alone NR program is exactly the same. The addon is a container configured for HA's docker called the supervisor. This controls all internal networking and you will have a really hard time passing credentials from the web through ha and into NR.

To use the addon you will need to move all commands to HA. If you can I suggest staying with a stand alone instance. HA's actual integration with NR is like any other with NR, add the websocket pallet nodes. Once the nodes are installed, configure the server with a user name and long lived access token. That's it.

Edit: The devs for HA also keep nodejs on the bleeding edge which can cause problems. There is no way to specify a ver of nodejs when using the addon.

@Anna I see that you are new to the forum (2 weeks), and have not made any contributions to the forum whatsoever other than applying for work.

Perhaps users seeking freelancers for private work would have more confidence if you had a stronger presence in the forum, to expose your knowledge of node-RED and your technical skills.

Thanks for the feedback that’s a fair point. I’m new to the forum and mainly joined to explore freelance work, but I’ll make an effort to be more active here moving forward.
