n8n

Berikut cara install n8n self-hosted paling mudah menggunakan Docker di Ubuntu/Linux server. Metode ini cocok untuk VPS, server rumah, VM Proxmox, atau K3s node. n8n sendiri merekomendasikan Docker untuk self-hosting.

1. Install Docker

Update package:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Install Docker:

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

Cek Docker:

docker --version

Tambahkan user ke group docker:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

2. Buat Volume Data n8n

Agar workflow dan credential tidak hilang:

docker volume create n8n_data

3. Jalankan n8n

Untuk timezone Indonesia gunakan Asia/Jakarta.

docker run -d \
  --name n8n \
  -p 5678:5678 \
  -e TZ="Asia/Jakarta" \
  -e GENERIC_TIMEZONE="Asia/Jakarta" \
  -e N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true \
  -e N8N_ENFORCE_SETTINGS_FILE_PERMISSIONS=true \
  -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n

Konfigurasi ini mengikuti dokumentasi resmi n8n Docker install.

4. Akses n8n

Buka browser:

http://IP-SERVER:5678

Contoh:

http://192.168.1.10:5678

Jika berhasil akan muncul halaman setup account admin.

5. Cek Container

Lihat status:

docker ps

Lihat log:

docker logs -f n8n

Install Menggunakan Docker Compose (Recommended)

Lebih bagus untuk production.

1. Buat Folder

mkdir n8n
cd n8n

2. Buat File docker-compose.yml

nano docker-compose.yml

Isi:

services:
  n8n:
    image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
    container_name: n8n

    restart: unless-stopped

    ports:
      - "5678:5678"

    environment:
      - TZ=Asia/Jakarta
      - GENERIC_TIMEZONE=Asia/Jakarta
      - N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true
      - N8N_ENFORCE_SETTINGS_FILE_PERMISSIONS=true

    volumes:
      - n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n

volumes:
  n8n_data:

3. Jalankan

docker compose up -d

4. Stop / Start

Stop:

docker compose down

Start:

docker compose up -d

Update n8n

Pull image terbaru:

docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Atau jika pakai docker biasa:

docker pull docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
docker restart n8n

Dokumentasi update resmi ada di: n8n Docker Docs

Setup Domain + HTTPS (Production)

Biasanya production memakai:

  • Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Traefik
  • Caddy
  • Cloudflare Tunnel

Contoh:

n8n.domain.com

Lalu reverse proxy ke:

localhost:5678

Port Penting

ServicePort
n8n5678
HTTPS443
HTTP80

Backup Workflow

Backup volume:

docker run --rm \
  -v n8n_data:/data \
  -v $(pwd):/backup \
  ubuntu \
  tar czf /backup/n8n-backup.tar.gz /data

Jika Mau Lebih Advanced

Biasanya production menggunakan:

  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis Queue
  • Reverse Proxy
  • HTTPS SSL
  • Domain
  • Cloudflare Tunnel
  • Docker Compose Stack

Install n8n menggunakan Cloudflare Tunnel tanpa IP public

Berikut cara install n8n self-hosted + Cloudflare Tunnel tanpa IP public.
Arsitektur ini cocok untuk:

  • server rumah
  • VM Proxmox
  • mini PC
  • VPS private
  • K3s node
  • jaringan CGNAT ISP

Karena Cloudflare Tunnel membuat koneksi outbound dari server ke Cloudflare, jadi tidak perlu:

  • port forwarding
  • IP public
  • NAT static

  • Server Ubuntu/Linux
  • Docker
  • Account Cloudflare

1. Install Docker

Install Docker:

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

Cek:

docker --version

2. Jalankan n8n

Buat volume:

docker volume create n8n_data

Jalankan container:

docker run -d \
  --name n8n \
  -p 5678:5678 \
  -e TZ=Asia/Jakarta \
  -e GENERIC_TIMEZONE=Asia/Jakarta \
  -e N8N_HOST=n8n.domainanda.com \
  -e N8N_PROTOCOL=https \
  -e WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.domainanda.com \
  -e N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true \
  -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n

Ganti:

n8n.domainanda.com

menjadi domain milik Anda.

Contoh:

n8n.yubykyuby.my.id

3. Install Cloudflared

Download:

wget https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb

Install:

sudo dpkg -i cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb

Cek:

cloudflared --version

4. Login ke Cloudflare

Jalankan:

cloudflared tunnel login

Nanti muncul URL login.

Contoh:

Please open the following URL and log in with your Cloudflare account:
https://dash.cloudflare.com/argotunnel?aud=xxxxx

Buka URL tersebut dari browser laptop/PC Anda.

Pilih domain yang ingin digunakan.

5. Buat Tunnel

Misal nama tunnel:

n8n-tunnel

Buat:

cloudflared tunnel create n8n-tunnel

Output contoh:

Tunnel credentials written to:
/root/.cloudflared/xxxxxxxx.json

6. Buat DNS Tunnel

Misal domain:

n8n.domainanda.com

Jalankan:

cloudflared tunnel route dns n8n-tunnel n8n.domainanda.com

Cloudflare otomatis membuat DNS record.

7. Buat Config Tunnel

Buat folder:

mkdir -p ~/.cloudflared

Edit config:

nano ~/.cloudflared/config.yml

Isi:

tunnel: n8n-tunnel
credentials-file: /root/.cloudflared/xxxxxxxx.json

ingress:
  - hostname: n8n.domainanda.com
    service: http://localhost:5678

  - service: http_status:404

Ganti:

  • xxxxxxxx.json
  • n8n.domainanda.com

8. Jalankan Tunnel

Manual test:

cloudflared tunnel run n8n-tunnel

Jika berhasil:

Connection registered

9. Jadikan Service Linux

Install service:

sudo cloudflared service install

Enable:

sudo systemctl enable cloudflared
sudo systemctl start cloudflared

Cek:

systemctl status cloudflared

10. Akses n8n

Sekarang buka:

https://n8n.domainanda.com

Tanpa IP public.
Tanpa port forwarding.

Docker Compose Version (Recommended)

Struktur:

n8n/
├── docker-compose.yml

Isi compose:

services:
  n8n:
    image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
    container_name: n8n

    restart: unless-stopped

    ports:
      - "5678:5678"

    environment:

      - N8N_PROTOCOL=https
      - WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.domainanda.com
      - N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true

    volumes:
      - n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n

volumes:
  n8n_data:

Jalankan:

docker compose up -d

Keamanan Tambahan (Recommended)

Tambahkan basic auth:

-e N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true \
-e N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=admin \
-e N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=passwordku

Atau di compose:

environment:
  - N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true
