Automation Self-hosted n8n on Ubuntu VPS with Docker Compose, Traefik, PostgreSQL, Queue Mode (Redis + workers)

[The_Nguyen_Minh]

n8n Manager is a production-ready, one-script toolkit for running a self-hosted n8n stack on Docker. It automates install, upgrade, backup, and restore workflows for both Single and Queue execution modes—fronted by Traefik (HTTPS & reverse proxy with Let’s Encrypt) and backed by PostgreSQL (persistence) with optional Redis + workers for scalable queues. Everything is driven by n8n_manager.sh so you get repeatable, safe operations without hand-crafting Docker commands.

Checkout the script at my github: GitHub - thenguyenvn90/n8n-toolkit: n8n Manager — Install • Upgrade • Backup • Restore on Docker Compose (Traefik, Postgres, Redis), with support for single & queue modes.

Automation script to Self-Hosting n8n with Docker Compose (both single and queue mode) and Monitoring with Prometheus & Grafana

Hi Guys, When I first tried to self-host n8n on a VPS, I ran into the usual maze: Docker basics, TLS/Traefik, DNS, PostgreSQL, Redis, backups… lots of moving parts. The official guides (e.g., DigitalOcean setup) are helpful but a bit high-level for a complete, production-ready stack. After digging through countless GitHub repos with partial docker-compose examples, I still couldn’t find a full lifecycle solution—install → upgrade → backup/restore → cleanup → monitoring—all in one place. So I …
