What Node-RED does
Node-RED is a flow-based development tool for visual programming of event-driven applications. It provides a browser-based editor for wiring together devices, APIs, and services using a rich library of nodes. Ideal for IoT automation, home automation, and integrating disparate systems with minimal code.

How to self-host Node-RED
Node-RED can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Node-RED does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for
- Wire together IoT devices and sensors into automated workflows.
- Integrate APIs and webhooks for event-driven automation.
- Build dashboards for monitoring and controlling connected devices.
