I have some remote node-red installations. These remote installations use reverse ssh that is instantiated using an exec node to connect to my VPN server. I can then connect to the remote node-red through a VPN.

My question is: When I make changes to the remote node-red flow, when I deploy, the ssh connection gets dropped.

Is there a way to keep the ssh session active in the exec node during the deploy process?

Try deploying only the modified nodes.
