Multiple Node-Red, with Multiple Global Storage

General
1

So I have a unique situation in that I run numerous instances of Node-Red (I can't change this). I also need to use global variables with the local file system in case the server reboots (which it does once a week).

So, is there a way in the settings to specify different folders so that each instance i have running will use a different storage location for their global files.

Any examples would be awesome.

You can specify the location to store the context in each instances settings.js

On the command line you can specify the location of the user directory (default ~/.node-red) using the -u option. This lets you give each instance its own directory for settings, flow files, context etc.
