Deploying a flow file remotely

[Ratheesh P Kumar]

Hi

Is there a way to deploy a flow file to a running node-red instance remotely via a CLI(without using the UI). I would like to do the deployment of the flows via Jenkins, as I have multiple node-red instances running. Manually deploying the flow to each instance is not feasible.

Thanks
Ratheesh

Yes, the runtime provides a REST api - which is what the editor uses when you hit the deploy button.

This should work "curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -H "Node-RED-Deployment-Type: full" -X POST http://localhost:1880/flows"

Thank You. When i tried this, it was overwriting the entire flows with the flow that I sent in the request.

Is it possible to deploy a new flow without overwriting the entire flow file? Basically, what I am looking for is to add a flow to a running node-red instance.

Thanks

Have a look at the other API endpoints in those docs and you'll find what you want.

As nick said you can try the other options in the API documentation but I believe the other options requite the flow JSON to be passed as well.  Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do.  Either way that command I posted should point you in the right direction.

The other endpoints let are incrementally add/remove/uodate at the flow (tab) level - you don't have to provide the complete flow file.
