The Node-RED official Docker image's continued use of Node v16, which reached its end of life in 2023, is concerning, to say the least. I highly recommend building your own image utilizing Node 18 or 20 for improved reliability and security.
Please note that this repository does not contain the VSH add-on for Node-RED but its server counterpart.
Duplicate of https://github.com/csuermann/node-red-contrib-virtual-smart-home/issues/241
Installation of VSH 4.1.5 or later returns an error in Node-RED (v3.1.5, official docker) Seems like VSH needs node.js 18.2.0 while the official docker has 16.20.2 (?)
Error in Node-RED v3.1.5 after installing VSH 4.1.6:
