README

Open http://localhost:1880 on the Docker host. The editor is initially unauthenticated, so it binds to loopback by default. Use an SSH tunnel or an authenticated reverse proxy for remote access; set BIND_ADDRESS only after configuring access controls.

Flows, installed nodes, credentials, and settings.js persist in the node-red-data volume. Follow the security guide to configure adminAuth and a persistent credentialSecret in that file, then restart. Back up the entire volume.
