How to run Node-RED and Orion Context Broker with Docker

Please clone the repository. Create the necessary images and start up a series of containers by running the commands as shown below:

git clone https://github.com/FIWARE/node-red-contrib-FIWARE_official.git
cd node-red-contrib-FIWARE_official/docker
docker-compose up -d

Once the containers have started, Open the portal page of Node-READ on http://{ip address of your machine}:1880/.

ℹ️ Note: Everything you do with Node-RED and Orion Context Broker when dockerized is non-persistent. You will lose all your data if you turn off the containers.

Securing Node-RED with Keyrock

You can protect the Node-RED editor and admin API with Keyrock and Passport-FIWARE-OAuth. Register node-red as an application in Keyrock and get clientID and clientSecret. Then, Add the following config to setting.js. You should change serverURL, clientID, clientSecret and callbackURL to suit your system environment. Please See http://nodered.org/docs/security.html for details about setting.js.

adminAuth: {
    type:"strategy",
    strategy: {
        name: "fiware",
        label: 'Sign in with Keyrock',
        strategy: require("passport-fiware-oauth").OAuth2Strategy,
        options: {
            serverURL: "https://keyrock",
            clientID: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
            clientSecret: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
            callbackURL: "https://node-red/auth/strategy/callback",
            isLegacy: false,
            verify: function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
              // console.log(profile);
              done(null, profile._json);
            },
            state: true
        }
    },
    users: [
       { username: "admin",permissions: ["*"]}
    ]
},

ℹ️ Note: This configuration was verified in a environment installed Node-RED 1.2.9, Keyrock 7.8 and Passport-FIWARE-OAuth 0.3.0.
