I will install, configure, and secure n8n or flowise on your server


About this gig
Are you looking to automate complex business workflows, run autonomous AI agents, or connect your applications to LLMs without paying recurring SaaS fees or exposing sensitive data?
I will deploy, secure, and configure n8n or Flowise directly on your dedicated VPS or cloud server using Docker, paired with production-ready databases and complete custom integrations.
What I deliver:
- Containerized Deployment: Clean, lightweight setup using Docker & Docker Compose on Ubuntu/Debian.
- Persistent Architecture: Configuration with persistent PostgreSQL or SQLite to ensure zero workflow data loss.
- Domain & Security Hardening: Reverse proxy setup (Nginx/Caddy) with automated SSL/TLS certificates and strict UFW firewall policies.
- AI & API Integration: Connection with OpenAI, Claude, local models (Ollama), vector stores (Qdrant, Pinecone), or external REST APIs.
- Custom AI Workflows: Setup of custom AI agents, webhook triggers, data formatting, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool calling.
Supported Environments: Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, Linode, Contabo, Vultr, or private on-premise homelab servers.

FAQ
Why should I self-host n8n or Flowise instead of using their cloud plans?
Self-hosting gives you complete data privacy, zero monthly execution fees, and full control over your automations. You can run unlimited workflow executions, connect to internal databases securely, and integrate local LLMs without third-party vendor lock-in.
What server specifications do I need to get started?
For standard n8n or Flowise workloads, an Ubuntu VPS with 2 vCPUs and 2–4 GB RAM (from providers like Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or Contabo) is plenty. If you plan to run local LLMs with Ollama on the same server, higher RAM (16 GB+) or GPU resources are recommended.
Can I use my own domain or subdomain for the dashboard?
Yes. I will configure your custom domain or subdomain (e.g., n8n.yourdomain.com) with a reverse proxy and auto-renewing Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates so all your webhooks and dashboards run securely over HTTPS.
Do you provide API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, or vector databases?
No. You will need to provide your own API credentials for commercial services like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Pinecone. I will guide you on where to generate them and safely input them into your environment variables or credentials vault.
How will you access my server to perform the installation?
You can share temporary root/sudo SSH access credentials (IP, port, and password or SSH key). Alternatively, we can complete the deployment via a live remote desktop session using AnyDesk or TeamViewer if your security policy requires it.
