How to Use the n8n VPS Hosting Template
Introduction
n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool that lets you connect apps, transform data, and automate tasks visually—without needing to write complex code. Whether you’re syncing CRM data, automating marketing processes, or integrating APIs, n8n offers powerful no-code capabilities with full customization.
With Celernex Technology’s pre-configured n8n VPS Hosting template, setting up your own automation server becomes effortless. You don’t need to install Docker manually, configure servers from scratch, or worry about dependency issues.
This guide will walk you through every step of launching and managing your n8n instance on Celernex Technology’s VPS—securely and efficiently.
Step 1: Deploy the n8n VPS Template
Celernex Technology simplifies the deployment process with a one-click template for n8n on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, bundled with Docker and all required dependencies.
To get started:
- Log into your Celernex Technology VPS dashboard.
- Choose the n8n Template from the application library.
- Select your preferred VPS configuration (CPU, RAM, SSD).
- Click Deploy Now.
Within minutes, your VPS will be ready with n8n pre-installed in a secure Docker container environment.
Step 2: Access the n8n Dashboard
Once deployed, you can open the n8n web interface by visiting:
cpp
http://[your-server-ip]:5678
This brings you to the familiar n8n canvas, where you can start building visual workflows immediately. No additional setup required.
Recommended:
Enable basic authentication or reverse proxy with SSL (using NGINX + Let’s Encrypt) to secure the interface, especially in production environments.
Step 3: Updating n8n via Docker
Keeping your instance updated is crucial for security and new features. Here’s how to update:
bash
docker pull n8nio/n8n
docker stop n8n
docker rm n8n
docker run -d --name n8n -p 5678:5678 n8nio/n8n
These commands fetch the latest Docker image and relaunch the container with no data loss if volumes are properly managed.
Step 4: Enable Queue Mode for Scale
Running large workflows or concurrent executions?
You can enable queue mode in n8n using Redis:
- Install Redis on your VPS:bash
sudo apt install redis - Add to your environment:ini
QUEUE_MODE=redis - Restart the container.
This will offload workflow processing and improve stability for automation-heavy environments.
Step 5: Add Environment Variables
To customize your n8n instance (e.g., authentication, webhook URLs), use a .env file:
bash
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=admin
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=strongpassword
WEBHOOK_URL=https://yourdomain.com/webhook
EXECUTIONS_DATA_SAVE_ON_ERROR=all
Pass this into Docker with:
bash
docker run --env-file .env ...
