I will migrate your n8n cloud workflows to a self hosted vps with docker


About this gig
n8n Cloud bills you per execution. Self-hosting on a $5 to $10 VPS removes that ceiling entirely, and your workflow data stops leaving your infrastructure. The catch is that a bad migration loses credentials, breaks webhook URLs, and silently stops your schedules.
I do the move properly.
WHAT YOU GET
A clean n8n install on your VPS: Docker, HTTPS with an auto-renewing certificate, and a reverse proxy set up correctly so webhooks resolve to your real domain rather than localhost.
Every workflow exported, imported, and opened to confirm it runs.
Credentials re-entered by hand, because n8n exports do not carry them.
On Standard and Premium, PostgreSQL instead of the default SQLite, which is what n8n recommends for anything beyond light use.
On Premium, your old instance kept running in parallel until you confirm the new one is good, plus a written rollback plan.
WHAT I NEED
Your n8n Cloud login or an export of your workflows, a VPS (I can advise on sizing), and a domain or subdomain pointed at it.
I run this exact stack in production, so the failure modes are familiar rather than theoretical.
Unsure how many workflows you have or which package fits? Message me first.

FAQ
Will my workflows keep running during the migration?
Yes. I build the new instance alongside your existing one and only switch over once you have confirmed it works. On Premium you also get a written rollback plan in case you want to go back.
