FAQ
Q1: Do I need to buy a server first?
A1: Yes — you'll need a VPS. I recommend DigitalOcean ($6-12/mo) or Hetzner (~€4/mo) for starting out. I'll guide you on the right specs.
Q2: Is Docker difficult to manage?
A2: Not at all. I set everything up so you rarely need to touch Docker directly. n8n runs automatically and I provide a simple restart/update guide.
Q3: Can I upgrade later if I need more power?
A3: Absolutely. The setup is designed to be scalable. You can upgrade your VPS resources or add worker nodes later without rebuilding anything.
Q4: What about security?
A4: All packages include basic security (firewall rules, n8n authentication). The Premium package adds Cloudflare protection, automated backups, and additional hardening.
Q5: Will you transfer my existing n8n workflows?
A5: This gig covers the server setup only. If you have existing workflows to migrate from Zapier/Make, check my migration gig or message me for a custom quote.
