Video tutorial coming soon.
Deploy n8n on Ubuntu with Docker — a powerful self-hosted workflow automation platform with 500+ integrations, a visual node editor, JavaScript code nodes, and built-in AI agent capabilities. Replace Zapier and Make at a fraction of the cost with full data ownership.
Grab the automated bash script from GitHub to follow along with the video.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/automation/n8n/n8n-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x n8n-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash n8n-ubuntu.shThe script installs Docker and deploys n8n with a persistent data volume. Your workflows, credentials, and execution history are stored safely.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/automation/n8n/n8n-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x n8n-ubuntu.sh

Click "New Workflow", drag a trigger node onto the canvas, add action nodes, connect them, and click "Activate". Your automation runs on schedule or in response to events — 24/7 without any manual intervention.
