Hello @Ivan-goEcommerce,
I think you can do this by making a copy of the ~/.n8n folder from an already-deployed n8n instance that has your account information (user/password/workflows, etc.), Store that folder somewhere, and then when a new n8n instance is automatically created, run a script or workflow that replaces the fresh ~/.n8n folder with the pre-filled one..
