# Migrating a Node-RED application to FlowFuse
This guide will help you to move an existing set of flows from Node-RED into one managed by the FlowFuse platform.
When migrating from your Node-RED to a FlowFuse managed instance you'll export the flows, credentials, and environment variables.
Before you start ensure you can log in to FlowFuse Cloud or your own FlowFuse server and have created the target Node-RED instance.
# Migrating the flows and credentials
Install the Node-RED tools plugin as explained in the documentation. After you created a snapshot for the target instance you'll have copied over the flows and credentials.
# Migrating Environment Variables
You can use this flow to dump a list of your environment variables into the debug window. For each variable needed for the flow should be added on FlowFuse under Instance > Settings > Environment tabs.
# Starting the snapshot
Under the snapshots tab, click 'Restore Snapshot' in the kebab menu. The migrated flows will now be started with the modules installed.
# Limitations
# Static Files
Check your settings.js file to see if httpStatic has been set, if so then check for any files in this path. The files in this path need to be manually migrated to FlowFuse's Static Assets service.
