nodered-config-volume
is quite generic, not sure if it might collide with other node red instances. Would it be possible to use a local path inside build
for example which gets mounted into the container instead of an volume. This would also ease the access to the config file.

This is more or less the way how the script worked before, I changed it to be able to start this container from inside a devcontainer, see below.
I changed the name of the volume and temporarily container to have a prefix everest-

Why does using a volume allow to start the node-red container from inside a dev container?

The workspace inside the devcontainer is mounted to an other path. So you would need to know about the host path of the flow file.
docker run
is executed on host with host paths
docker cp
is executed with container's paths
This way it is possible to copy a file with only knowing the devcontainer paths into a docker volume which then can be mounted by name into the nodered container

I see, well this is really ugly. These docker inside docker scenarios are quite special, not sure whether we should support these - they might break quite easily. This script here basically only works, if the devcontainer has been launched correctly - which is an assumption I wouldn't necessarily make.
Does this script work, when executed from the host (i.e. outside of the container?)

It is not real docker inside docker, because it is more like remote controlling the hosts docker socket.
This script is designed to work inside and outside the devcontainer. Of course it needs to be rebuild when changed because of paths
