Many a time your flow caused your Node-RED to crash. And when you restart your Node-RED, it crashes again and makes it difficult for you to troubleshoot the flow.
Listen to this pageabout 1 min
In this situation, you can use the safe mode of Node-RED where Node-RED will not start right after initializing the server. This allows you to edit the faulty nodes and deploy them again. This will save you hours of troubleshooting.Just open the command prompt and type node-red —safe
