Run your own N8N instance with one click.

Steps to deploy N8N manually

1. Create an application on Scalingo

2. Add a PostgreSQL for the internal usage of n8n

scalingo -a my-n8n addons-add postgresql postgresql-starter-512

3. Configure n8n to perform store its internal data in PostgreSQL

scalingo -a my-n8n env-set 'DB_POSTGRESDB_DATABASE=xxx'
scalingo -a my-n8n env-set 'DB_POSTGRESDB_HOST=xxx.postgresql.dbs.scalingo.com'
scalingo -a my-n8n env-set 'DB_POSTGRESDB_PASSWORD=xxx'
scalingo -a my-n8n env-set 'DB_POSTGRESDB_PORT=xxx'
scalingo -a my-n8n env-set 'DB_POSTGRESDB_USER=xxx'
scalingo -a my-n8n env-set 'DB_TYPE=postgresdb'

4. Add some needed configuration for N8N

Tell N8N to listen on the port provided by Scalingo.

scalingo -a my-n8n env-set 'N8N_PORT=$PORT'

scalingo -a my-n8n env-set 'N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<A RANDOM STRING>'

4. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/Scalingo/n8n-scalingo

5. Configure GIT

cd n8n-scalingo
scalingo -a my-n8n git-setup
