-
Configure the deployment options as an External repository pointing to https://github.com/jmservera/node-red-azure-webapp.git
Figure 2 External Repository
This project currently uses a workaround to avoid a small problem caused with
child_process.execFile: it uses a fake npm.cmd that points to the real one.
Usage
Wait until everything is deployed before opening the website, during the deployment a script is executed to download this repo and install all the needed modules. If you see this screen just wait about 30 seconds to let the Node-RED app start:
