Hi, i want to ask some questions about IoT edge, i have write a program base on node-red, and sometime need to update the program remotely, so i choose IoT edge device instead of iot device. So i wonder can i run node red with docker run with IoT edge device

Hi there, there is a Node Red module for Azure IoT Edge. You can find it (and the install instructions) right here.

I see, that clarifies it. Yes, you can, but you'll have to publish your own module to for instance Azure Container Registry. The strategy is as follows:

On your dev device, deploy the module and create your flow.

When the flow is finished, copy it from the /node-red folder on your device, into a new project.

Create a Dockerfile, start with a FROM <image>, where image is the noderededgemodule image you use on your device.

For the second line, COPY the flow file to the /data folder

Build and publish, you now have a module that includes your flow.
