What is the difference between node red addon install vs node red independent install?
The addon lives on the same instance as your HA install, so, sharing resources. Also, you lose some abilities like being able to run NodeRed as root (should you want to utilize things like ports below <1024 (which only a root-type of account can do)).
Also, should the server you are running HA on go down, so does your NodeRed instance.
Plus, you also lose the ability to run some nodes that require OS level components or require OS level compiling. These are typically nodes that interact with some low-level boards/GPIO ports and such. While rare, some people do find the need to use them for specific projects.
Personally, I always run NodeRed on it’s own machine as I do more than just home automation tasks with it.
