I have a nice BBB Node Red application that runs on my LAN quite nicely. Now, I'd like to be able to transport it and access it remotely. I see two problems with this. 1) To use it on a new system, I have to get through its router. This usually entails forwarding port 1880 to the BBB, but it would have an unknown DHCP-provided IP address, and 2) To find the new system, I would need to know its external IP address.
I've been trying to find answers to these problems, and what I've come across is MQTT, WebRTC, STUN, TURN, and ICE. This alphabet soup is causing me to tear out what little hair I have left. Do I set up an MQTT broker; do I access a publicly available one? Same questions with WebRTC. And if I do one of these, how do I integrate it with my existing application? Do I do something with its existing websocket nodes? Do I use MQTT nodes? Please point me at something that can help. I've seen basic tutorials (type "Hello World" into one instance and lo-and-behold, it shows up on the other side), but I've not found anything useful beyond that. What do I have to do to provide a web page displaying locally acquired data using Node Red dashboard elements?
