You store data in context storage or maybe a database.  
If you store data in context storage you have to set the storage to file rather than memory, as file will survive a restart.

Not sure what hardware you are on but there might be prerequisites for this on the host. I’m not sure what the nodered document covers but might be helpful to know what kind system you are on incase there are specifics to that which aren’t covered typically.
