Take full control of your automation data. Deploy a production-ready n8n instance on your own VPS or local server in minutes using our optimized Docker stack.

The Deployment Guide

[ PRODUCTION GRADE STACK ]

Prerequisites

Ensure you have a Linux VPS (Ubuntu 22.04 recommended) with Docker and Docker Compose installed. You also need a domain pointed to your IP for SSL.

Environment Config

Define your credentials and domain in the .env file. Our stack includes Traefik for automatic Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates.

Launch

Run docker-compose up -d. Your world-class automation hub will be live at your domain with full persistence and security.

Sample Docker Compose
