n8n Self Hosting and Docker VPS Setup Expert plus AI Chatbot Developer
About this Gig
Paying n8n cloud every month for something you can run yourself for the price of a coffee? Self hosted n8n fixes that, but only if the n8n setup is done properly. Most installs die within a month because nobody set up restarts, backups or SSL.
I set up your n8n VPS so you never think about it again.
What you get:
n8n running on your own VPS in Docker
Your domain with free SSL that renews itself
Automatic restart if the server reboots or n8n crashes
PostgreSQL instead of SQLite so your workflows survive
Daily backups you can actually restore from
Queue mode with Redis workers so heavy runs never block
User accounts so your automation server is not open to the internet
I move your existing workflows off n8n cloud too. Credentials are re-entered, not copied, because n8n encrypts them so nobody can export them.
Works on Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Contabo, AWS, Vultr or any Linux VPS. No server yet? I will name the cheapest one that fits, usually under 10 dollars a month.
I keep 10 live apps running and I once cut a client's infrastructure bill about 40 percent.
Tell me your server and I will confirm the setup before you order.

FAQ
I do not have a VPS yet. Can you help me choose?
Yes. I will recommend the cheapest server that actually fits your workflows, usually Hetzner or DigitalOcean under 10 dollars a month, and tell you the real cost before you order.
Can you move my workflows off n8n cloud?
Yes, every workflow moves across exactly as built. Credentials get re-entered instead of copied, because n8n encrypts them so they cannot be exported by anyone, including me. That is a security feature, not a limitation. It takes a few minutes and I guide you through each one.
What happens if my server restarts?
n8n comes back on its own. That is the main thing most self hosted installs get wrong, and it is included from the basic package.
Will my workflows be safe if something breaks?
Yes. From the standard package you get PostgreSQL and daily automatic backups, and I show you how to restore one.
Do you set up SSL and my own domain?
Yes, included from the basic package. Free SSL that renews itself, so no browser warnings and no yearly certificate cost.
