RE: Node-RED on Beaglebone Black (with SensorTag 2.0)

So if I understand correctly..

Node.Js is a (server side) platform that BBB comes installed with, and in order to use it, you have to write modules in javascript or node-red flows?

I imagine node-red flows can run on anything that supports node-red, i.e. they can run on web/cloud hosting sites? Although, I don't see many free options. BlueMix looks nice, but has a limited free trial.. FRED is free but no mqtt broker or sms nodes... not sure if openshift can do it, as it seems very linuxy/difficult to setup.

Any suggestions on sites that have just a general guide on what Node.Js can be used for? So many client and server side technologies that it gets confusing which is good for what!

This is a great guide thank you so much for posting it! I've been having a problem actually getting node-red on my beaglebone. My bone is connected to the internet via an ethernet cable, however, whenever i try and use the command you used to get node red, I get the error : UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE. I was wondering if you ran into this problem, or if you could help me solve it?
