How to self host n8n on Azure container apps with persistent storage using Azure Blob Storage

Hey @david_cooper

Can’t really paste the whole solution here but here are the main points

  1. Create a Resource Group

  2. Create Azure Storage Account

  3. Create a Blob Container

  4. Generate a Shared Access Signature (SAS)

  5. (Optional) Create Azure File Share (useful for mounting)

  6. Create Azure Container App Environment

  7. Deploy n8n to Azure Container Apps with Persistent Storage

az containerapp create
–name n8n-app
–resource-group n8n-rg
–environment n8n-env
–image n8nio/n8n
–target-port 5678
–ingress ‘external’
–transport ‘auto’
–env-vars
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=admin
N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=yourpassword
N8N_HOST=0.0.0.0
N8N_PORT=5678
N8N_LOG_LEVEL=info
N8N_PROTOCOL=http
N8N_PERSONALIZATION_ENABLED=false
–storage-mounts
mountPath=/home/node/.n8n
storageType=azureFile
azureFileAccountName=n8nstorageacct
azureFileShareName=n8nshare
azureFileAccountKey=[your-storage-account-key]

Thank you @mrrobot this was helpful.

I have got another problem now, every time I open n8n it is asking me to Set up owner account

Hey @david_cooper ,

I think you are missing a persistent storage ?
