Hi  
When running Node-RED on Bluemix based on the develop-local suggested workflow by [Nick](https://knolleary.net/2018/06/01/creating-a-node-red-deployment-pipeline-to-ibm-cloud/), I would like to serve only the /ui path when running on the cloud and make the editor (including the login in screen unavailable)

Is this possible ?  
Thanks  
Peter

In theory, you can set `httpAdminRoot` to `false` to disable the editor and admin http api. However there is an open issue that setting it to `false` currently breaks the dashboard.

Instead, you can use the following settings:

1. Disable the editor with:  
`disableEditor: true`

2. Move the admin api away from `/`:  
`httpAdminRoot: "/some-random-path"`

3. Setup `adminAuth` so even if someone does find the random path you put admin root on, they won't be able to access it.

4. Move the dashboard to be served from `/`:  
`ui: { path: '/' }`
