Node-Red repair/re-install

Is there an easy way to completely reset your whole node red installation on a cerbo? I tried to change between normal and large images but (as expected) some of the node red settings files etc remained. Should I just delete the .node-red directory? Is there more that I can delete to make sure the installation is completely set back to standard when I do a large/normal switch.

Yes, you can completely remove that. Don't forget to backup anything node-red related you care about, since all will be gone. E.g.

rm -rf /data/home/nodered/ && svc -t /service/node-red-venus/

Thanks @Jeroen - I assume after I removed it if I switch then to normal and back to large will it create a default node-red installation again?

Or does the service restart automatically create everything needed?

exactly, just copy the command and you are done. (Well when running a large-image with node-red enabled). The home dir will be recreated etc.

Hi, to add: for anyone familiar with root access, see above instructions by Jeroen, they'll wipe out only the node-red settings.


For anyone else, the solution is to do a factory reset of the complete GX device. Explained in the manual:

Ofcourse this will reset all settings to default; not just the node-red section.
