Hi Pete,
It took me a long time puzzling, but now I succeeded.
I made a new boot SD card for the RPI, complete with Nodered and Mosquitto installed. After that I used WinSCP to replace the complete \root\home\user\node-red and \root\home\user\node_modules directories with the old ones. After deploying in Nodered I was able to use my old files again.
Thank you very much for all the advises!
Your SD card WILL fail again.
If you want to run Node-Red on a Pi then go for a setup with a bootable SSD drive and no SD card.
Pete.
Thank you. I’m not very in to these things. I was looking on the internet for the possibilities, but I’m not sure. Can you advise me an ssd kit which is suitable for RPI 3b and affordable as well? Would an USB stick also work?
No, you want a drive that utilises proper file management techniques, which you don’t get with an SD or USB thumb drive.
I use a board from Geekworm for my RPI4 setup, plus a Geekworm case too.
Not sure what sort of products are available for the 3b, but there should be plenty out there that allow you to use either a 2.5” SSD or an M2 drive.
Pete.
Today I was in a shop and I saw an SSD drive from WD Elements. It has an USB-A connection and is normally used on PC’s. Would something like that also be suitable for storing the Raspberry Pi operation system?
Probably not.
Go for something that’s 100% Pi 3b compatible and will allow you to boot from that device without an SD card in place.
Pete.
