This tutorial demonstrates three ways to deploy node-red using Apcera: package import, package build, and app from Docker.

Here you can import the package *.cntmp files or build the package using a package script file. (Pick one. You don't need to do both.)

1. Import the node-red package.

cd /sample-apps/node-red

apc package import *.cntmp -s

This will import the packages:

• /apcera/pkg/packages::node-red
• /apcera/pkg/runtimes::node-0.10.33

2. Or, build the package using the script:

apc package build node-red-pkg.conf -ns /apcera/pkg/packages

NOTE: To build the package, your cluster must have the node-0.10.33 package. If you need to import it, run apc package import node-0.10.33.cntmp -s.

We provide a manifest file for creating the app.

1. Edit /sample-apps/node-red/node-red-app.conf.

• Update the namespace
• Edit the route endpoint: cluster-name and cluster domain (if necessary)
• Save changes

2. Create the node-red-app:

apc app create --config node-red-app.conf

3. Access the node-red-app.

The node-red-app should be accessible at http://node-red.cluster-name.apcera-platform.io.

Alternatively, to create the node-red-app from a Docker image:

apc docker run node-red -i apcera/node-red --port 1880

The Dockerfile for this Docker image is provided in this directory for reference.
