How do I move to a new system

[widert]

I'm moving my complete node-red installation (including my z-wave dongle) to a new system, what is the easiest way to do this?

Hi @widert

To Move Node RED over:

• Copy everything in ~/.node-red APART FROM ~/.node-red/node_modules <- this folder is machine/architecture specific
• Paste its contents in the new ~/.node-red (on the new machine)
• CD into ~/.node-red (on the new machine)
• Issue npm install (recreates ~/.node-red/node_modules for the machine that will run your Node RED flows)

This is the normal move routines (and one often suggested on the Node RED forums)
As you're copying ./.node-red - It will also copy your ZWave Network data files

• For the record, this is ./.node-red/zwave-js-cache
