Hi, was just wondering about the eventual possibilities to let Node-RED update it's own flow a) Sending a new flow file to Node-RED (I'm thinking via MQTT) and use the file node to save it b) Then Node-RED activates a self-restart in some way Is this maybe already possible to achieve?

Check out this quesion talking about the node red admin api.

You can also use the SendFlow node which uses the /flows endpoint to update the node red instance it points to.
