Não consegui instalar n8n em VM do Azure executando Windows Server 2019

Perguntas
1

Exploramos três métodos de instalação para n8n:

  • Docker – Não é suportado em VM do Azure com Windows Server 2019 Datacenter
  • npx – Tentado múltiplas vezes nos últimos 2 dias sem sucesso
  • npm – Também tentado múltiplas vezes sem sucesso

Todas as abordagens foram malsucedidas até o momento.

A razão pela qual você provavelmente encontrou o Docker “não suportado” é que o Windows Server 2019 usa por padrão Windows Containers, mas o n8n requer Linux Containers.

  • Para fazer o Docker funcionar no Windows Server 2019, você deve ativar a função Hyper-V e instalar o Docker Desktop (ou configurar o Docker Engine para executar containers Linux via uma VM).
  • Aviso: Isso é significativamente mais complexo e pesado em recursos do que simplesmente usar uma VM Linux.

Como você está no Azure, a forma mais profissional e estável de executar o n8n é em uma VM Ubuntu em vez do Windows Server.

O n8n foi projetado nativamente para Linux. Em uma VM Ubuntu, você pode tê-lo funcionando em 5 minutos usando Docker, e evitará todos os problemas de “C++ Build Tool” associados ao Windows.

  • Configuração do Azure: Crie uma nova VM → Imagem: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
  • Instalação: Basta executar o comando Docker da documentação do n8n. Este é o padrão da indústria para auto-hospedagem do n8n.

Isso ajuda?

@kjooleng acertou em cheio! Colocar Ubuntu em funcionamento em uma VM é a abordagem mais fácil e limpa.

Oi @vijaybh, ambos os caminhos acima são sólidos. Uma coisa que ajudaria a estreitar as falhas de npx/npm é se você pudesse compartilhar as mensagens de erro exatas que viu? As instalações do npm no Windows Server costumam falhar devido às ferramentas de compilação C++ ausentes (necessárias para módulos nativos do node), o que é uma solução diferente de um problema de versão do Node.js.

Execute isto e compartilhe o resultado:

node --version

npm --version

npm install -g n8n --verbose 2>&1 | Select-String "error"

Isso nos dirá exatamente onde está falhando e se a abordagem do Swapnil só precisa de um ajuste extra para funcionar na sua configuração.
