nodered-heroku

A wrapper for deploying Node-RED into the Heroku.

DEMO: Flow Editor - https://nodered-heroku.herokuapp.com/editor
DEMO: Dashboard UI - https://nodered-heroku.herokuapp.com

Warning: You will lost all saved flows every time heroku restart!

SOLUTION: To overcome this, on Editor, after finish with your design and deployed, you need to Export 'all flows' as "flows.json" file, and push your "flows.json" to your github, linked to your heroku. Detail on step 4 and 5.

1. Deploying Node-RED into Heroku

2. Set Username and Password for your Flow Editor

NODE_RED_a_USERNAME - replace this with Username for Flow Editor
NODE_RED_b_PASSWORD - replace this with Password for Flow Editor

3. Access your Node-Red

Flow Editor - change-with-your-heroku-app-name.herokuapp.com/editor
Dashboard UI - change-with-your-heroku-app-name.herokuapp.com

4. Export all flows as "flows.json" file AFTER you create your flow and deploy it

In Editor, click hamburger icon (top right), click Export, choose tab "all flows", then Download.

5. Fork this repo, Set your github as deploy source on Heroku setting, and enable Automatic Deployment

Push downloaded "flows.json" file to your repo on github.
Every time "flows.json" pushed to your repo, Heroku will rebuild node-red with updated "flows.json".
So your node-red will always have latest pushed "flows.json" when Heroku dynos restarted.
