I will self host n8n on your vps with docker, SSL and daily backups


About this gig
Tired of paying per execution on n8n Cloud or Zapier? Run n8n on your own server with unlimited workflows, set up properly by a DevOps engineer.
Most guides just get n8n running. I get it running reliably: HTTPS on your own domain, Postgres instead of SQLite, automatic backups, safe updates and alerts if something goes down.
What's included:
- n8n with Docker Compose on your VPS (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, GCP, Hostinger or any Linux server)
- Your domain or subdomain with free SSL
- Postgres database and daily backups (Production and up)
- Firewall, secure login and auto-restart
- Update script, so upgrades take one command
- Queue mode with workers for heavy workloads (Scale)
Don't have a server yet? I'll recommend one that fits your budget (often around 5 EUR a month).
Message me your server provider and what you plan to automate, and I'll confirm the right package.

FAQ
Do I need to buy a server?
Yes, a VPS on your own account so you keep full control. A small one (about 5-10 EUR a month) is enough for most users. I can help you choose.
Is self-hosted n8n free?
The n8n Community Edition is free to self-host with no execution limits. Some enterprise features need a paid n8n licence.
Can you move my workflows from n8n Cloud?
Yes. I export your workflows and import them on the new server; credentials are re-added securely. Message me for a custom offer.
What access do you need?
SSH access to your server (a temporary user or key you remove after delivery) and access to your domain DNS settings.
What about updates later?
You get an update script and docs. I can also handle updates and monitoring for you as a monthly service.
