Hi,

I have installed long time ago a Node Red Docker on my Unraid Server. Now I noticed that the Version is outdated, still at v0.20.8

There is a new Docker available for UnRaid which is up2date.

How can I move my working Docker Installation (including Plugins) to the new Instance?

Br,  
Johannes

I was now following this instruction:

When running "npm install" I am getting this output:

```auto

  run `npm fund` for details

```

Then I restarted NodeRed Docker and I can see in the Logs:

If I login I see all the Nodes missing.

...did you install it from an unraid plugin?  
Usually all config is stored outside the docker container in an unraid-share (i.e. /mnt/user/appdata/name\_of\_your\_docker, which then gets mounted into the container under its local /data path.

When I did an upgrade to V1.x, I just installed the latest docker and did not loose a single flow  
(did a backup of the share, just in case 😉

Edit: performing the upgrade in unraid is not via node-red or CLI...just pull the latest docker image via unraid dashboard/UI
