What is proper procedure to update Node.JS on Raspberry? I am running 6.14.3 and was advised to try 8 or 10 to troubleshoot Blockly astro command execution.

try this:

1.) deinstall existing node & node.js versions

sudo apt-get --purge remove node
sudo apt-get --purge remove nodejs
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo reboot

2.) node.js new installation for für Linux und Raspberry 2/3

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev libudev-dev libpam0g-dev nodejs
sudo reboot

german documentation for this, you`ll find here

@BBTown I followed your instructions to update node, now have 8.15.1, restarted ioBroker, after update Z-Wave and mySensors adapter don't work. One of the error messages in log is that Z-Wave was compiled against different node. What do I need to do to make system operational?

You should start

npm rebuild 

in /opt/iobroker (or the correct installation folder).

See these part of the (German) installation instructions: Link

I've noticed that all download images at http://www.iobroker.net/docu/?page_id=5139&lang=en are based on Node version 6 or lower. At what point it is recommended to update to newer version of Node?

@ap2017 Got it. English site is just outdated. German site has latest images with Node 8 http://www.iobroker.net/docu/?page_id=2563&lang=de
