01 — The brief
The problem
n8n self-hosting tutorials end at docker-compose up.
02 — How we built it
The approach
- Hardened Ubuntu 24.04 with CloudPanel + Docker.
- Front-doored every instance with Cloudflare Tunnel.
- Wired Postgres backups to S3 with point-in-time recovery.
- Built a Grafana board for executions, error rate and queue depth.
