Local Login for Remote Instances

Back to the Changelog

With the new 3.2.0 release of the FlowFuse Device Agent, we have introduced a new Local Login option for Remote Instances.

This feature allows you to enable a local login for your Remote Instance, which is particularly useful in air-gapped environments or times when the instance cannot reach the FlowFuse platform.

When local login is enabled, users can log in to Node-RED directly using the specified credentials.

For day-to-day activity, we still recommending accessing the editor through the FlowFuse Platform for the best user experience. However, for those times when that isn't possible, this option provides a fall-back to allow continued access to the device.

You can configure this option in your Remote Instance Settings tab under the Security section. Screenshot of local login options Screenshot of local login options

Additionally, you can enable or disable local login for in the Device Agents YAML configuration file. For more information, refer to the Node-RED Settings in our documentation.
