Yes - the package was built on a previous version of OpenWRT
needs some work to redo on 19 and with a decent level of node.js. (eg 12 or 14)
Happy to look at a Pull request if anyone interested and has the time.

Following worked for me:
Because my internal storage of my router is too small, I mount a USB stick to /root:
mkdir /usr/lib/node_modules
mount -o bind /root/node_modules /usr/lib/node_modules/

Node-Red installation:
opkg install node-npm
reboot
(make sure, usb stick is mounted again to /root and /usr/lib/node_modles)
npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

Start Node-Red:

Thanks for above. Unfortunately, lots of space just incompatibility of architectures???
