Hi,

I am running N8N on Apple Silicon using NPM (not Docker) - does anyone know how I can run it as a service so that it doesn’t require an open terminal window to stay up?

Many thanks.

You can use

or create a LaunchAgent (~/Library/LaunchAgent) when you want to use autostart.

I am running n8n on OsX. I am using a docker compose setup without problems
