About this Gig

n8n 3.0 drops npm/npx installs, so you have to move to Docker. You run our free read-only check on your server (it changes nothing and prints no secret) and send me the report. You get back a plan written for YOUR setup: how n8n runs now (systemd, pm2 or npx), where your encryption key is, your database, folders outside ~/.n8n, workflows that need host programs, community nodes, and which of your workflows use nodes that 3.0 removes.

What you get: a step-by-step plan (copy, never move; same version first; checks; how to go back), a ready compose.yaml (Standard and up), and for Premium the plan tested on a VM copy with stand-in data.

Honest notes: built with AI-assisted tools and checked by hand. I never log in to your server and never ask for your encryption key or passwords; the report contains names and fingerprints only. You run the steps yourself. Not affiliated with n8n GmbH. Refund if the plan does not fit the report you sent.
