@ -20,7 +20,11 @@ We can't quite do this today. Here are the missing pieces:
3. it must be possible to provide the credentialSecret for the project without it being part of any of the version controlled files. Options for this include:
- env var - `NODE_RED_CREDENTIAL_SECRET`
- command-line flag - `--credentialSecret="..."`
4. Must handle running in a read-only environment. If the package is installed globally (in order to insert a command link into /usr/bin) then the flow file and settings.js will be in root space - which ought not to be writable by the user. Currently even starting Node-RED with -u option pointing somewhere protected will fail. Options include - just handling the error. On error marking the settings.readOnly as true thus stopping the library failing. Setting disableEditor to true also.

- on detecting this condition, marking the settings.readOnly as true thus stopping the library failing.
- setting disableEditor to `true` also.
The package would provide an npm start script that runs node-red with the appropriate command-line args.
It could also provide a `bin` section that could allow starting via command line if installed globally.
