# Instance Settings
The Instance Settings allow you to customize many aspects of your Node-RED runtime.
Instance Settings are split into a number of sections:
# General
This section includes a number of actions you can take on the instance:
# Change Stack
The Stack determines the version of Node-RED being used. If a new stack is available, you can use this option to update you stack.
# Copy Instance
This allows you to create a copy of the instance in your team.
# Import Instance
This allows you to take existing Node-RED flow and credential files and import them into your instance.
# Suspend Instance
This stops the instance entirely.
# Delete Instance
If you're really sure you don't want the instance any more, this allows you to delete it. You cannot undo deleting an instance. Devices assigned to the instance will be unassigned from the instance and available to reassign to a new instance.
# Environment
This allows you to manage the environment variables. More information on working with environment variables is available here.
# High Availability
This allows you to manage the HA settings of the instance. High Availability is a Preview Feature. More information is available here.
# Editor
This covers a number of options to customize the Node-RED editor. This includes:
- Disabling the editor entirely
- Modifying the paths the editor and dashboard are served on
- Choosing which code editor to use in your Node-RED nodes
- Setting a custom title for the editor
- Choosing a light or dark theme for the editor
- Controlling the runtime timezone
- Controlling the use of node modules in function nodes
# Security
This allows you to modify the security settings of the runtime. In particular this covers the security applied to any HTTP routes served by the runtime.
The default option is not to apply any security - so any HTTP In nodes, or Node-RED Dashboard can be accessed by anyone.
You can optionally enabled Basic Authentication, with a single hardcoded username and password.
Alternatively you can require anyone accessing those routes to be logged into FlowFuse. The hosted pages or API endpoints are only available for FlowFuse users that have access to the team on FlowFuse and the cloud instance.
# Palette
This allows you to manage what extra nodes are installed inside Node-RED, as well as any restrictions you want to apply to the Palette Manager within Node-RED.
It includes the option to add extra Node-RED Catalogue URLs and a .npmrc
file that will be deployed to the instance. Details of the .npmrc
format can be found
