1 Minute to Create Your Agent AI based on N8N Docker

siwei • • 好物分享

n8n docker installation offers the following advantages:

  • Installs n8n in a clean environment.
  • Easier setup for your preferred database.
  • Can avoid issues due to different operating systems, as Docker provides a consistent system.
  • Can avoid compatibility issues due to differences in operating systems and tools.
  • Makes migrating to new hosts or environments more straightforward.

In this post, I am gonna show a couple of ways to run your own n8n in different docker environment for free. 

n8n features

n8n is a workflow automation platform that gives technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code. With 400+ integrations, native AI capabilities, and a fair-code license, n8n lets you build powerful automations while maintaining full control over your data and deployments.

Key Capabilities

  • Code When You Need It: Write JavaScript/Python, add npm packages, or use the visual interface
  • AI-Native Platform: Build AI agent workflows based on LangChain with your own data and models
  • Full Control: Self-host with our fair-code license or use our cloud offering⁠
  • Enterprise-Ready: Advanced permissions, SSO, and air-gapped deployments
  • Active Community: 400+ integrations and 900+ ready-to-use templates⁠

n8n Docker Deployment

https://hub.docker.com/r/n8nio/n8n

In the terminal, enter the following:

docker volume create n8n_data docker run -it --rm / --name n8n / -p 5678:5678 / -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n / docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n

This command will download the required n8n image and start your container. You can then access n8n by opening: http://localhost:5678⁠To save your work between container restarts, it also mounts a docker volume, n8n_data. The workflow data gets saved in an SQLite database in the user folder (/home/node/.n8n). This folder also contains important data like the webhook URL and the encryption key used for securing credentials.

If this data can't be found at startup n8n automatically creates a new key and any existing credentials can no longer be decrypted.

notes: 
Paste: ctrl+shift+v 
Copy: ctrl + ins
If you are using standard docker run command from previous section, you will get following error message:

Once you add the environment variable N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false in, it should be ok to run.

docker run -it --rm / --name n8n / -p 5678:5678 / -e N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false / -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n / docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n / start --tunnel
