11.3 requires Node 6 ?

11.3 requires any Node above 0.10.x. It may be Node.js 4, Node.js 5... and of course Node.js 6.

So I can still upgrade from 10.1 !! without breaking.

OpenShift Node.js cartridge supports only 0.10 version of Node and they have no plans to upgrade it to anything newer.

You can update to latest Node.js version. Based on this url https://hub.openshift.com/quickstarts/243-node-js-latest

By default, the Node.js version is determined by querying semver.io/node/stable. A different URL can be specified either via NODE_VERSION_URL environment variable or by setting .openshift/NODE_VERSION_URL marker in your application repository. For instance, you'd get the latest 0.10.x (0.10.41 as of Jan 24, 2015) by putting this in NODE_VERSION_URL variable or .openshift/NODE_VERSION_URL marker: https://semver.io/node/resolve/0.10

@MunGell , can you try to use .openshift/markers/NODEJS_VERSION marker for update the NodeJs in our cartridge up to 6.9.2 , as @vineetchoudhary mentioned? Hmm, this method requires to copy .openshift/action_hooks/ from https://github.com/ramr/nodejs-custom-version-openshift repository. Am I right?

This method requires installing nodejs executable. It is also noted as a "not production ready" by the authors of the cartridge. I personally think this method makes whole PaaS idea redundant - it is almost as reliable and simple as setting up a DigitalOcean server for Ghost from a template...
