Hi kowts!

If you just need nodered, you can install and run that without openflow.

But if you need to talk to openflow, or need added securiry, version control and other features added by openflow version, then yes.

You can locally either install openflow and start one or more agents prebundled with nodered using docker.

Or, you can install an agentservice or run an assistent connected to an remote openflow ( like mine at https://app.openiap.io/ ). And from that openflow deploy an nodered package to the agent. ( as described here or shown in this video )
