I will set up self hosted n8n automation on your vps with docker and SSL
Senior DevOps and Network Security Engineer and Linux Expert
About this Gig
Stop paying for Zapier or Make execution limits. Migrate to a self-hosted n8n instance on your own VPS. I will deploy a production-ready, secure, and permanent automation platform using Docker.
What I do:
- Deploy n8n via Docker Compose for easy management and scaling.
- Configure PostgreSQL for stability under heavy workloads (Standard/Premium).
- Set up Nginx or Traefik reverse proxy with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt SSL (HTTPS).
- Implement strict data persistence via mapped Docker volumes.
- Apply SSH hardening, basic firewall (UFW) configuration, and secure environment variables.
Why this setup?
Standard scripts use default SQLite, which frequently corrupts during concurrent webhook execution. I prioritize database isolation, container resource stability, and data retention to ensure your production workflows run 24/7.
What you get: Fully operational n8n instance, clean compose configurations, and an operational guide for container updates.

FAQ
What server specifications do I need?
A minimum of 1 vCPU and 2GB RAM running clean Ubuntu LTS is highly recommended for stable n8n execution, especially when handling concurrent webhook payloads and intense data processing loops.
How do I update n8n or manage data backups?
All runtime data is bound to persistent Docker volumes on the host system. I provide simple commands to safely pull the latest images and restart the containers without losing any workflows, credentials, or historical data.
Can you migrate my existing Zapier/Make workflows?
Direct automated migration does not exist due to platform differences. However, I can manually rebuild your API logic and payloads into native n8n nodes under the Premium tier. Contact me first to evaluate your architecture.
