Newbie -best setup for Node-RED on VPS

[Gordon Hooton]

Sorry for what may be a question already asked (did not find anything on search), but is it possible to run Node-RED on a Linux VPS, and if so what is recommended for the Distro.

Looking to display graphs for Sigfox sensors online

Many Thanks

Sure is - any distro will work - but Debian is handy as you have ready to roll startup scripts

Hi Gordon,

Node-RED will run on anything that node.js can be installed on.

I'd recommend a recent ubuntu version. You should then find our raspberry pi install/update script will pretty much just work to get you the latest node.js and node-red installed and setup to run as a service.

Hi Gordon,

quoting previous answers I can suggest you an alternative way: use docker!
