Hi all,
I've tried to do some changes with the node-red settings.js (/usr/lib/node_modules/node-red).
It works fine until i deploy a flow.
The settings.js gets overwritten by a (i think json) string.
How can i make the settings.js persistant?
Welcome to the forum @Sourison
That is the wrong settings file. Stop node-red and then start it again in a terminal and it will tell you where your settings file is. It is usually in a folder .node-red in your user's home folder.

Thank you Colin for the quick reply,
I will give it a whirl.. will report back after i've tried 
How are you running Node-RED?
My guess is you are running node-red settings.js - which is actually telling Node-RED to use settings.js as your flows file. That means it gets overwritten when you deploy changes.
Instead you need to use the -s parameter - node-red -s settings.js.
Although, if your setting file is in ~/.node-red then you don't need to specify it on the command line at all.
i was using node-red -u . settings.js command. since i did some changes with authentication.
I will try the -s ones.
That -s did do the trick.. thanks!
