Hi all !
I’m new to TULIP and NODE RED.
I bought 2 EDGE IO that are running Node RED perfectly and that are connected to my TULIP instance with the API nodes.
Everything is working fine on the EDGE IO.
My subject today is :
Is it possible to run Node RED on a local docker and to use the TULIP Nodes directly from this docker ?
I already installed Docker Desktop, it works fine and I managed to Run Node RED on http://localhost:1880/.
But I cannot install the TULIP node because the install shows errors.
Does anybody has done this ? Could you please make a short tutorial on how to do it ?
Thanks a lot !
Paul
Can you share more about the error message you are seeing?
This support article has the step by step instructions for adding the Tulip nodes to a local NR instance. So I imagine that either there is a bug with the latest version of the Tulip Nodes, or something about your docker configuration is having trouble.
Hi Daniel,
Here is the type of error I had :

I copy/paste the error in ChatGPT and it advised me to run the following command :
npm config set strict-ssl false
Not sur to understand what this command did but it worked !
I managed to install the TULIP nodes thanks to the palette.

Yes, this seems more like an issue with your node set up. Consider upgrading to a more recent version of node js in the docker container.
Some good stackoverflow conversation here.
