Hello, following the [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) i would like to PR the documentation in order to add another way to install Node-RED on a Raspberry Pi or other devices compatible with balena (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson, Intel NUC, etc.)

I showcased last Saturday during the Node-RED Con 2021 how to `deploy with balena` the [Node-RED block](https://github.com/balenablocks/balena-node-red) and it should be interesting to provide these instructions to everyone who would like to work more in the edge (or not) 🙂

The proposed PR would create another square with balena+Node-RED on the `Getting Started Documentation` page. It would go to a similar page like Docker where the `Deploy with balena` button would automatically deploy Node-RED on the Raspberry Pi and we would also have other sections to explain how to step-by-step install it with the balena CLI, how to add services and more.

What do you think? feedback welcome!

Sounds good to me.

I can help create the icon for the page... I have an SVG lying around here somewhere with all the other icons in.

@knolleary i'm working on this branch on my repo [GitHub - mpous/node-red.github.io at balena](https://github.com/mpous/node-red.github.io/tree/balena)

Now downloading the tools to visualize the changes on my local device. Let me know if this makes sense to you! Thanks 🙂
